Planning a honeymoon in Greece for September. Any recommendations on islands? It’s a 2 week vacation. Some time will be spent on Mykonos for the sake of a specific resort but other than that I have nothing else planned.

6AM...too early to have a drink on my flight?

Brisbane hotels - Hilton or Sofitel?

Are there any major differences between the delta lounges at LGA?

Very curious to get folks' perspectives on having kids at 30 vs. 35 vs. 40? Context: I'm 27 and am leaning towards 35ish age range for first kid.

How long is the recruitment process from E2E? From first time recruiter reaches out to when you sign offer letter? I know this will vary but very curious because the people I’m interviewing with talk about how long it is a lot

Anyone coming from tax tech transition over successfully to data analyst/science? How'd you do it?

Hello, I am getting interviews for the tech roles but unable to clear the final rounds. Any suggestions? Mostly, I apply for BDR roles only

How can I get passed cynicism?

Having struggled with visa for the past ~6 years, I have become extremely cynical. I don’t trust real friendships anymore because friends turned into competitors or got too burdened to maintain the friendships.
I feel somewhat disgusted when my coworkers or managers tried to “build rapport” with me.
I understand the value of doing so, but my repulsion inevitably showed through my apparent desire to end small talks as soon as possible.

Hi 🐠, connecting documents for I-485 filling. Any insight on the medical check? I don't have vaccination records. Is this required?

Hi, my I485 is pending. Priority is July 2014 EB3. I-485J is for a software developer but I moved to different role (HR) within the same company. How will it affect my GC processing? Is there a way I can move to a different company in HR? Or is it best to stay with the same company until I get my GC?

Where do most of the EY folks stay in Pune ? Like i guess Hinjewadi is towards the other end of the city, new to the city thus asking!!

I've been overthinking a LOT lately, stressing about the future - especially in light of all the uncertainty so finding it hard to remain "present" .... Are there any books you recommended to help with this?

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

Have been interviewing at cvs health. Any ideas how the marketing and analytics teams are?

Where do people go for vintage pieces? I heard there's a nice watch community out in Hong Kong but wondering where people look/go for some older not-in-production models.

I’m currently working for employer A. I have signed an offer with employer B who is planning to file for H-1B visa transfer petition soon. I’m still interviewing at other companies.

How would you go about pricing your equity in an early stage startup offer? Have two offers right now with different comp components and trying to compare across both to make a decision / negotiate the offers. Current comp ~280-300k TC, 4 YOE

1) Head of Strategy & Ops with 275K Cash Comp + 0.25% equity @ a Series A startup (N-1)

2) Head of Product with ~350k TC (All cash, Base + Bonus) @ a Global Bank (N-1 within the BU)

Is an IPO in anyone’s FIRE strategy? Maybe this is specific to the Bay Area, but it doesn’t seem that unrealistic to negotiate enough equity to make $1.5 mill off an IPO. Or maybe I’m dreaming 😂

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

Has anyone seen any decent MQD run ideas for Delta recently? I’m about 8k MQDs from diamond. Seems the Aeromexico method is on hold until they are fully back up and running. Thanks!

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Chase Sapphire Reserve is not able to book a ticket for me on Air India because the flight is not showing up on their system. The flights shows up everywhere else including on Expedia, which powers Chase’s portal. Anyone had similar experience?

Priority Pass (through my CSR) cancelled their relationship with the lounge in my home airport all of the sudden. That was a huge benefit of having the card for me. Anything I can do with Chase?

Any recommendations on credit cards with lounge access? Currently have the Chase Sapphire Reserve which has Priority Pass, but have been turned away from lounges not accepting PP at peak times

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

Anyone have the SPG/Marriott corporate code for Comcast?

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..
