Anyone tried a “notel” flight? Same day round trip flights including tourism and not for mileage run.

Yeah, I do day trips once or twice a year! I love them for places I’ve been before but I want to go back for a specific reason (show, party, sports event, grabbing lunch with a friend, etc.). That makes it easier as far as knowing my way around and having a realistic expectation for how long things take (travel to and from airport, traffic, etc.). If you’re going to go somewhere new, i recommend you plan out exactly what you want to do in advance so you don’t waste time trying to figure it out while there.

It depends on where I’m going, but you can find good deals on the budget airlines. Since it’s just one day I don’t ever have more than a personal item, which makes a spirit or frontier flight not stressful or costly. But I also don’t mind spending on a flight if it’s somewhere I really want to go or if I want more comfort.

Last week at an office meeting the office manager, in front of everyone, without my knowledge beforehand, announced that I was the only person in the office eligible for a senior position. I was shocked and responded in that way. I have to apply for the position and after some thought I decided I didn’t want to do it. They aren’t offering an increase in base pay and giving me the responsibility of management without the title. Yesterday, I received a PIP is this retaliation?

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization.

Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!

What are some of the useful gifts you've given to parents and grandparents when visiting them back home from US? I'm going to India soon and was wondering what to gift them.

What would you choose? MBB (Digital practice) or Amazon PMT?

Background: T15 MBA student, 7YoE as Mech engineer, long term goal is to climb ladder in Tech, married and have a 2year old

Situation: I have a MBB and Amazon PMT offer for summer internship that I need to choose. MBB comes with FT offer, Amazon PMT will most likely result in return offer. If I go with MBB, I plan to exit to big Tech in 2-3 years. Y1 TC for both will be quite similar (around 230k).

Thank you in advance!
