Can my partner stay with my in the hotel on a work trip if there are no incremental costs?


I’m not sure what the policy is here. My work trip is in a fun city and my partner wants to stay with me in the hotel.

Partner meaning your life partner or partner meaning your boss? One is ok and the other is an HR matter.

I think it’s ok as long as you don’t sleep in the same bed and/or engage in any hanky panky. They frown on that and they will know.

This is true, happened to someone

Yes, just don’t advertise it to your team or client

Of course there’s a stigma and for good reason. A work trip is for work, not fun. There is an expectation in many cases that your down time is networking with colleagues, etc. If your spouse is there obvs you won’t be doing that

My fiancé and I both have the CSR card and Freedom Unlimited combo and love them. We are thinking of adding another card and we were considering the Amex Platinum (to diversity transfer partners) or likely a United card for lounge access since we live in Chicago.

Does anyone else have both CSR and Amex Platinum? Would you recommend?

After your first job, how relevant is GPA. For context, I went to a school that is very well known for grade deflation (Deloitte had a “suggested” minimum of 3.2 here) and I studied statistics, a particularly rough major at the school. Long story short, GPA was between a 2.9 and 3.0. This wasn’t due to slacking and I’ve done well at Deloitte so far with plenty of experience to speak to. Would my GPA still block me from certain firms, like any of the MBB firms or a Tier 2 consulting firm?
