Are people finding 35k Marriott certs useful? Even with the ability to top up with 15k points, seems hard to find anything decent for 50k.

I have booked multiple weekend nights at JW’s with the 35k certs. Points redemptions often dip into the mid 40s in off peak seasons. Mid-September in Orlando when kids are back at school for example

Has been an irrelevant perk for almost 2 years now.

Like SM2 said, they have value if you're flexible. I often use mine on vacation if I have an early flight home or a late night arrival and stay nearer to the airport.

You know they are jobs paying you base on value you add rather than by hour

And the grammar and typos are horrible.

Starting as an SM in S&A on the strategy side in the next few weeks. What does travel budget generally look like? I understand first class flights are a no go domestic which sucks, but hoping hotel and food budget makes up for it. Also, does Deloitte pay for platinum Amex or is that out of pocket?

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
