Question to Leadership of PwC India - Do you think people would visit a hotel(4-6 PM) just for high tea?
No Lunch, No Gifts?
Why have you even wasted money in booking the hotel, just for high tea? Do you think, people would care about the townhall & go?, if you just give high tea?
Seriously man! I don't even know, why PwC is even coming under Big4! Shame!!

First business trip in 20 months. TSA agent yelled at me for nonsensical reasons. I almost cried. I was worried things would change, but they are just as dehumanizing as always. Felt like home.

Hi Fishes,

Do these 2 points in the JD allude to modelling requirements?

Hello, my wife and I are trying to take a few days off and do a long weekend trip to either Poconos, Catskills, or Delaware Watergap. Looking for recommendations on itineraries for these places and recs on places to stay. We’re active and like to be out and about (hiking, rafting, etc). We’re new to NY, so would love some help. TIA!

I am plat exec on AA and wife wants to purchase ticket to Europe (traveling alone). Any benefits of booking it through my account (and assigning her FF#) or none?

We are a firm of 5 transactional attorneys and the bonus structure is very unclear. The usual “based on personal performance and firm profitability” language. I wonder how this is calculated in general. What is the percentage bracket of the bonus? Assume it is a high performance 9+ year attorney and the firm is profitable (even with COVID). The based salary is low $120k. Firm is in Tx. I’d love to hear your comments.

Does anyone run a business in addition to their firm? I’m a solo and I’m doing pretty well with about 60-70 billable hours a month. Though that leaves a lot of downtime. Curious if anyone has any second businesses that require about 20 hours a week. Not looking for passive income or franchise ideas though.

How do you handle billing disputes? Already feel like we’re a steal compared to other firms, but it’s the pits when clients kvetch about the bill after working hard on their matters. For five figure disputes, anyone recommend collections? Don’t really want to institute retainers, especially since it doesn’t seem common for our practice area.

Are there any real estate attorneys who have gotten into the title insurance business? What does that look like? Do you still carry on a private practice on the side?

Anyone have any productivity tips/hacks they would suggest for an associate? I could use all the help I can get.

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!

Shall we start curating a list of comp/bonus?
Saw the main bowl which has this list but few data points for Europe & UK.
Would be good to know what the pay is currently due to the hot market & new joiners with great comp?

Looking to do a solo trip for about a week somewhere that’s driving distance from San Francisco (anything within ~10 hours) this July/August. Looking for some good hiking and food. Last year I did Bend and it was great!

I need a change so badly I’m on the verge of tears almost every day. I’ve invested so much preparing for this career. I know I have so much talent that’s not being utilized. I feel stifled and stuck. I don’t need the health insurance but I’m terrified of giving up financial security. Any suggestions in NH for a sp ed with a MS in ed tech integration and a CAGS in Ed leadership. I am driven by identifying systems and creative problem solving and also have a background in art & design.

Incoming BA - any advice/links on the math for the best credit card for personal use?

Best non-travel credit cards? I have Chase Marriott and SW but looking at best value cards during Covid. Esp Amexes. TIA!!!

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

Worth getting the Marriott bonvoy credit card with the 100k points bonus? Annual fee is $95. Already have CSR.

Are spg and spg points eventually going to get phased out due to merger?

Suite nights confirmed 5 days out then get to hotel and they mention I was upgraded at check in. Get to room and def not a suite, ask and they say they don’t have any now. Worth doing anything?

How much for delta gold on here?

Does Centurion Lounge access justify the Amex Platinum fee? 80% of foreseeable travel will be through IAH, DFW, and LAS.

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Anyone know why our miles didn’t carry over to the next year? Had 20k miles over Delta Platinum

With the new merger, can I use my spg suite night awards at Marriott properties?
