I’ve done EWR to LHR on United about 15 times in the last 1.5 years and my carry on has never been weighed - many times I’m flying with a basic economy ticket but I have status and board in Group 1....

Perfect! Coz I'm flying basic too and not gonna drop $140 for a checked bag

No, I fly united SFO to LHR fairly often and it's never been weighed.

Very small planes maybe, because it affects the balance. But otherwise in the US, the FAA allows them to use averages.

International to London, no.

My goal is to avoid any interest or fees.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making? I hesitate to just throw out current salary + 20% bc I’d be asking for almost $190k for a SC role and I know that would be quite a huge ask for a SC @ B4, even for tech
