Hi All,
I got an offer from Deloitte India and KPMG Global Services into deal advisory role. The salary difference is not very much but I'm confused now which one to join.
In both the companies I have to work with international clients.

I am stranded in a foreign country, was traveling for personal reasons, because AA cancelled my flight citing weather concerns but is flying other flights at the same time. Is there a way for me to 1. Get an alternate flight that is not painful. 2. Escalate and get compensation? Thank you.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
