I hate that. Sometimes they send you complimentary ones you have to beg off or throw away.

I like paper magazines.

I've used random airline miles for the digital version of Economist before. It's not just print.

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager.

Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??
