What did she say when you said no?

I ask for compensation in case of a trade. Sometimes they do it

$50 to move to another aisle, 100 to window, 200 to middle, plus 100 if E+ to regular seat, plus $5 for each row further back. Seems fair.

Was it a long flight? Did it involve somebody giving up an aisle/window to get stuck with a middle seat?

Hey all - 2 years in consulting so far as a fairly "type b" personality - relaxed, uncompetitive, enjoy socializing with my colleagues. To be clear, this is not the same as being lazy or irresponsible - I am diligent and do my work well.

Nonetheless I think we can generally say finance/professional services etc. reward "type a" habitudes on its face.

Thought it could be fun/funny/supportive to share experiences as the chiller brains in these anxiety-fueled fields.
