Flying out of newark for first time tmrw morning 8am (I'm an LGA gal normally). Terminal C, have precheck. Cannot miss the flight but also love my zzzs; any advice on when to get there?

Get there 30-40 min before boarding

Ewr is the worst. I second pec1

Sigh. Thanks guys!

I typically get through precheck in C in less than 15 mins, but it's often less

Depending on what time your flight is precheck may not be open.. If you have status you should get through in 20-30 mins.. I fly terminal B every week and precheck has been open maybe 10 times total.

Oh no! I don't have status on the airline I'm flying tomorrow - how bad is it for non status people if precheck is closed ? >_<

If your flight is after 7 am or before 5 pm you should be good for precheck. In terminal B it's usually 30 mins in non status

Status hasn't done anything for me. Precheck is pretty vital though

Update; made it to the airport in 25 mins (vs Google maps' projected 25-40); through precheck in 5; and ended up being there almost 1 h before boarding. Not very consultant-y, but the peace of mind was totally worth it. Now being one of those assholes that waits in line for boarding super early (and causes a panic among other passengers) haha :)

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
