Friday plans: Netflix, wine and trying to get delta to match my status

Hi fish,
Planning a trip to Thailand for 1-2 weeks next February. Suggestions on where to stay (cities, parts of town, specific hotels), activities, where to fly into etc. Thank you!

Anyone know of a fast track program for status on American Airlines or is it just the challenge you have to pay for?

Any 🐠 traveling from PHX to ATL next week ? I have some luggage (one check-in bag) that I want sent if you are kind to help. Any fish willing to help ? Will buy you 🍺 and 🍕 as a thank you

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

I am currently negotiating a compensation package and part of it includes stock options. What other information do I need to evaluate if the equity component is a good offer ? It’s a ~40 person company and I’ve received the the number of options, most recent valuation, and current strike price. I was also given a dollar range that I can “imagine” the share price would be (I think they were trying to help me do the math without it giving away too much)?
