The longer I do this job, the more I want to accept a tech job... no travel, same / better pay, no annoying clients...

Will hotels and airlines extend their status requirements? (I really only care about Marriott)

What’s a good Marriott Bonvoy points vs $ conversion to make decisions on using points or $?

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Also, how do you see the split of WFH/office/client site be going forward?
Thank you!

I just started training with United HealthGroup for Medicare. I have previous experience in Medicaid-- quite a different role, but similar. I'm so nervous about how complex Medicare can be. Any suggestions or advice? I'm not exactly a dumb-dumb but nor am I the sharpest knife in the tool box.

Does anyone know where on the United website where I can see all my future PQMs, PQDs, and PQSs for the rest of the year?

I stopped contributing to my 401K for the last three months in order to pay off credit card debt. I am 28 and have about 68K in my 401K. Was this a smart decision? I want to get out of debt as quickly as possible and I have no student loans or car debt.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

Does anyone know the salary band for clinical program consultant at United Health Group? What is the typical bonus associated with this role?

I canceled my Amex paid membership as we aren’t traveling for work yet. Have 100k points to redeem in 2 days. Don’t want to waste it on target or Walmart gift cards as they have terrible conversion rate. Any suggestions? May be transfer to Emirates points as I will travel to Dubai in a year?

Anyone knows how chase sapphire travel insurance works? I used the first leg of the trip but cannot return due to an illness. It is cheaper for me to cancel the return leg and buy and new one way.

💳Credit card help💳 Starting a new job in two weeks. The new company does not give a corporate card, so I get to pick my own. If things were normal and I was traveling / spending as usual, getting the CSR or AMEX platinum would make sense. But with things the way they are, what should I do? Work related expenses will be minimal, but Im moving/furnishing an apartment so personal spend will be decent. TIA!

Just spent 15 minutes buying a flight on the jet blue app... is there software really that slow?

Hi what is an acceptable salary range for an associate director in biotech( +10 y experience)

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Any remote, part time jobs in healthcare with a BS? Already have a full time, just need some extra cha Ching

Is it difficult to move without a reference. I got all the skills needed in current job market. But looks like getting a job call itself is difficult.
Or is it because of My H1B visa status.

Is it common to buy each other a gift for the wedding day? My fiancé has hinted at wanting a nice watch, but the wedding itself is a huge expensive. What is typical?

Anyone else scroll through LinkedIn and constantly feel behind in their career? Everyone I know is exiting from MBB to VC/PE and I’m still making peanuts at Big 4. How do you deal with knowing you’re mediocre/less sharp?

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Any book recommendations about human psychology / thought processes?

Those who applied to JD or MBA (current interest in former) while working full time... What did the process look like and what was the timeline for you? How was studying for LSAT/GRE/GMAT and doing apps while doing consulting work? How did it turn out?? I don’t know anyone going through the process and could really benefit learning your experiences, what to expect and what not. Thank you in advance!!

Dear all six partners I’m currently supporting,
You cannot all simultaneously be my number 1 priority, during a pandemic, when I’m also trying to be (schmedium) parent.

I can only imagine how Deloitte cyber must feel when they walk into client site trying to advise on security issues lol

Is Deloitte US still giving signing bonuses?

RIP Hank Aaron ⚾️

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Got laid off on Friday. Three days and I'm already bored out of my mind. Besides Jim, what are people doing to pass the time in between job hunting?

You know it's a slow week when the highlight is when your comment to a fishbowl post gets more upvotes than the initial post

So what do we really think the future of consulting travel will be after all this?

I have been on a local client since forever and now considering to travel to work on projects I like. Can anyone tell me how miserable or fun traveling is?

Does anyone become more jaded towards their company / being in consulting by being on this app / seeing what is posted in their company bowl? I feel like this is the place to talk about things we typically wouldn’t talk about in the larger workplace setting (which is great, don’t get me wrong), but can’t help but feel that this app definitely helps me see the ugly side (more so than the nice side) of consulting.

Flew for the 3rd time since last March. I LOVE how all these consultants (and yes you can tell they are consultants) board the plane early with status. Who really wants to be on the plane longer than they need to be during Covid? I will board last thank you very much. Status be damned.
