I have some unused corporate tickets on my Delta account (since last 12 months), hardly travel for business anymore. Can I use those for my personal trip?
The unused tickets are going to expire in a few months anyways. Trying to check if someone has played with this corporate policy; don’t want to get reprimanded for this. I work for a technology company.

Me : Awesome so no travel required at all?

“Well you need to come to the office 3 times a week and the other two you will be popping into potential customers on site”

Me: So not remote at all…?

“No we’re remote, you get two days traveling not in the office”

Hello,
I am in my late 20s currently in a career transition from teaching to consultancy. I am interested in consultancy jobs within the international development industry that would also allow me to travel. However, I do not have any relevant experience. I speak French and have a background in business and Political Science.
Any advice on how to break into the field with no experience?
Thanks in advance!

Where are they now: The guy who puked in the Westin in Phoenix?

I am currently working in advertising with experience on fintech & CPG. I would like to work in tech marketing, specifically Google’s APMM program.
I’ve been studying some PM/PMM books/podcasts/videos, attending Google events, and want to keep learning more to try to prepare myself as much as I can.
What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

Curious to know people’s planning systems. I’m a paper planner at heart, but in this practice, there’s so many tasks and sub tasks for each client matter and each task may be in various points of completion (to do, waiting on, in process, etc.). I’ve toyed with excel sheets, word docs, paper planning, Trello, Notion, etc. and nothing seems to ‘stick.’ Thank you!

If you could fly (airlines) for free what would you do to make money ? (Not blog)

Hi EA Team! I’m interested in hearing from you all, what kind of projects do you take on? In the EA role Besides the basics: of travel, expenses, calendaring, space captain, offsites. I ask bc my boss is offering me an opportunity to start getting more involved in the business he said, and i quote “i want you to be an extension of me” what kinda role is that? I love Ops work, i use to do it at a start up, and being in a global company now i realized how much calendaring is not my favorite lol

What pain points are folks experiencing in the digital media space? Most of what I am hearing is related to audience targeting (privacy issues) and conversion measurement (specifically attributing advertising to brick-and-mortar bottom line). Curious if “the bowl” has any thing else that comes to mind?

Can we receive the performance pay on probation period because still I am not allocated to any project?

Is your agency standardized across tools or are they unique per client?

How long does D background check usually happen? Just got an offer today, should I submit the background check and wait for results? A US citizen now but college records aren't from here, what the group thoughts on this?

Anyone else had a longer wait between verbal and formal offer? Interviewed 2 weeks ago on Wednesday and received confirmation that I would receive offer the next day. No more communication since— thinking it’s just due to holidays but curious how much longer it might still take?

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain. He always has this condescending attitude and just keeps telling me that he expects more of someone at my level, C. I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

Another point to keep in mind amidst PwC layoffs is we have ~60K global in advisory. Condolences to ya'll who got axed, I'd be just as infuriated. How large are your firms consulting practice?

Anyone out there made the switch from consulting > product mgmt and hates it? Is the grass actually greener?

Recommendations for pre-owned car dealers/tips? Looking at crossover SUVs and SUVs..

How often are you connecting with old coworkers?

Seeing the “3% pledge for pay equity” popping up next to agency names here. Interesting that our Global CEO is a woman and don’t see us on that list. We also have the worst parental leave. 🤔

I want to get my fiancée set up with a 2nd credit card. She already has CSR. All her spend is restaurants/shopping so I was thinking maybe Amex gold/plat. Any other suggestions? Thanks folks!

The next time that you are considering asking for points for smallest mistakes of HK, just think how you'd feel if your client reports your small mistakes to your partner and ask for discount

New to the points world and need advice. Planning a last minute trip to Chicago in a week and curious if you would use Chase points (60k) or $750 Currently have 130k from SUB+daily spending but not sure if it would be worth it to use points since the date is so close. Currently have CSR+CFF

Does getting upgraded at ritz properties ever happen if booking on points? I’m assuming no since they do not accept suite nights but would calling ahead to inquire help?

Thinking about dropping Amex plat. Don’t see the value of this card at $700 AF.

Is venture x the move? I really liked my CSR, but sign up bonus is only $50K right now.

Primary spend on food, dining etc. Less travel these days since I’ve left consulting, but still looking for a premium credit card…

Options are

1) Keep Amex plat ($550AF with my corp amex)

2) downgrade amex plat to gold ($100AF); get venture x / csr if 100k bonus is back / some other travel card

Anything i’m missing?

Does having the Amex gold have any hidden perks? Will they get me dinner reservations or anything like that and is there a cost? O
