Can anyone explain what a senior associate does in Deloitte’s controllership practice? I spoke to a recruiter before busy season but would like to hear somebody else’s side. How are the hours? Will there be much travel if we ever get back to normal?

With the additional days Marriott added, I’m now 2 away from reaching platinum (my current status). My memory is that early on in the pandemic Marriott extended everyone’s current status until end of 2021. So is there any point in trying to get those 2 nights in this year? Cant imagine that it would count for 2022

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

Straight male flight attendants... what a waste

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money. 1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case? 2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances? 3. What documents should I carry with me?

Alvarez and Marsal is wanting me to come in at an associate level although I’m a senior in Big 4 FDD. Thoughts on this? Person told me associates at A&M get around 90k base plus bonus and seniors there get around 120 plus bonus. Should I push for Senior, and how would I even do that? I already verbally expressed that desire. Should I just wait a few months till I have more than a year of senior experience? Any associates shed light on their bonus? Is it 100% of your salary or more like 20-30%?

Not sure if this is the right bowl for this..please direct me if not.
