Marriott or SPG credit card (for the sign on bonus)?

Anyone successfully book a flight with sky miles to the Maldives from the US? Based in ATL and every time I switch to the sky miles option I get no results. Thinking it’s due to airline partners

Traveling for a wedding this summer and the only SPG location is only available for 1 of 2 nights. Only other good hotel is a Hilton but have no status. How bad is Hilton with not status?

Can someone explain the LTA policy? What happens if I don't claim any travel bills? Can I claim it as a taxable component monthly?

Any Vietnamese fish got H1B stamp recently? Mine is only valid for 1 year which I'm wondering why. Not having to worry about renewing it every year when I travel abroad is nice :(

LAX (T3) - open the fucking sky priority TSA line, it doesn’t take any staff, it’s just a line cut. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi everyone,
Looking for a M&A HR checklist that includes due diligence through integration. I have one but would like to see what else is out there and compare. Happy to share my email directly.

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

Hi All

Looking for advice on business trips. My boss kindly asked me if I want to go meet a client out of state along with business folks. It will be my first visit to a client. What do you think are the benefits of these trips? I’m fairly new in my career and in-house so would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

Does anyone have any good books or podcasts about how to develop leadership/ managing skills?

So I used to work for this shady Series A funded startup in Mumbai. Our CEO was a drug addict who funnelled money back to a lobbyist on the VC side. They paid INR 1.2 Crores for their logo to a "creative agency", just one of the many dodgy expenses they made including multiple so-called official trips to exotic locations like Hawaii. Till date their SAAS product has not found a single buyer. The CEO's girlfriend was the Sales Director whose job was to wear skimpy dresses for business meetings.

Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?

Hello all, I’m excited to starting a new position in SF soon and am currently apartment hunting. Roommates seem like the move. Anyone have tips for finding roommates in SF?

Anyone have any insight as to public sector (including gov’t of course) positions that pay a starting salary of $150k or more to an attorney with approximately 4-5 years experience, preferably in geographic locations North of SF. I know there are a lot of variables but just trying to get ideas of places that I’m not already aware of. Thanks in advance!

I don’t know about you all...but WFH means I never have to touch those those CLOTH handles on BART! Anyone want to share their positives?

Are there any networking opportunities in the near future? I moved to SF recently, and would love to connect with the legal community here.

How is your firm dealing with COVID-19? (Lay-off, pat cuts, working from@home, etc)

Anyone women lawyers here interested in a local get together? New to the area & looking to meet friends, which is hard enough as a busy attorney, and got even harder with pandemic /WFH life. I brought this up in the women lawyers bowl and there were several 🐠🐠 in the Bay area looking to connect!

Gonna be in SF for the summer. Staying on Pacific Ave, in Chinatown. Looking for recommendations on things to do, places to eat at, bars, and also any concerns to keep in mind. How safe/unsafe is the area etc. Appreciate any help!

Anyone know average salaries for 3rd year associates at small firms in San Francisco that represent government agencies and non-profits? The firm has about 20-25 attorneys.

Will be moving to the Bay area for a new job which pays a bit under 200k. I know SF is very expensive so just trying to gauge what would be a reasonable amount to spend on rent. I have no debt and decent savings. Bringing my car with me and will be commuting to Marin most days, but looking to live in SF. Otherwise tend to be fairly frugal and like to cook.

Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

What are some new ways you connect with clients?

Anyone back at the office yet?

Anyone here regularly practice in Alameda County Superior Court? This is my first time in that particular court and I could use some advice as to the procedure for requesting an informal discovery conference. Local rules don’t provide a whole lot of guidance on this.

Who’s back working in the office and where do you work?
