Spg or Hilton honors? Currently spg plat but wanted to know if anyone had better experiences with Hilton (service, upgrades, points accumulation mainly)

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?

Clinton looks like she's wearing grillz on my Sheraton tv...

Looking to book one night at a Marriott property in chicago to celebrate anniversary with my wife - mostly deciding between the Gwen and the Ritz. Which would you choose? (Assume price doesn’t matter)

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

Marriott or SPG credit card (for the sign on bonus)?

With Michael Thomas out, who would you replace him with in a PPR league today, TY Hilton or Emmanuel Sanders?

Like Sanders but worried about Brees after 4 weeks off.

I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

Thinking of heading to Maui (for the first time) for thanksgiving and seeking recommendations for a hotel (considering Ritz but open to others) and things to do. TIA!!

Can someone explain the Marriott status process to me? I am one year away from hitting life time status but doesn’t look like I am going to hit the 75 nights this year to keep titanium. (Cont. below)

Accenture can you guys go back to Marriott and fix their customer service please I've been on hold for 30 minutes and I still have missing nights

I'm guessing most people know already but for any new 🐠, the Marriott Mega Bonus is up for registration.

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?

Are spg and spg points eventually going to get phased out due to merger?

Traveling for a wedding this summer and the only SPG location is only available for 1 of 2 nights. Only other good hotel is a Hilton but have no status. How bad is Hilton with not status?

I have 315k Marriott Bonvoy points and a couple of free nights in addition. What is the best bang for my buck in terms of locations / experiences I could get? I am super flexible on timing and location, just want the best experience. Any thoughts?

What are some good trips to do with Bonvoy points in the Northeast (thinking more spa/relaxing vs touring cities) e.g Berkshires, Vermont etc

Looking into credit card, most likely between emirates nbd Bonvoy card or the Emirates offering. Anything better out there? What has been your experience. My understanding is you can convert the emirates points to Bonvoy? Not sure if the same works Bonvoy —> emirates.

The new SPG app is not intuitive at all, very hard to navigate i find.

Fox Rothschild, litigation, Delaware, mid level

Considering a move from a larger BigLaw firm to Fox Rothschild, primarily to work on matters I’m more interested in, but hopefully to also have a slightly better work life balance. I know it would be a pay cut though, and their various covid cuts have me concerned as well.

Any insight from current or former associates? What is firm culture like? Is work life balance decent enough to justify a lower salary?

let's all put paper or atleast look for other opportunities then they come to know how it feels. I am sure people who are in Publicis Sapient are very good in technical skills they can easily get job outside with same CTC.

Any thoughts on Laronde?

Started a new job search about 2 weeks ago. Of the 14 recruiter screening calls I’ve gone through, all went amazingly well, and I’ve only heard back at all from 4 since the calls. Why?

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?

While giving the tech interview as well as while having the HR discussion, I mentioned my expected CTC as 9-10 LPA(CTC). I cleared the interview and uploaded all the documents in the portal yesterday. Today mrng all the document verification was completed. But when I got the call for offer discussion, she asked what u expect. I said 9-10 LPA. She questioned me that on what basis I am asking for this much hike. She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..

Top 10 books to read about consulting life ?

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing). It sounds great, but I am worried about the disruption this industry is facing with Robo advisors and other low cost, DIY options. I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?
