Any recommendations on credit cards with lounge access? Currently have the Chase Sapphire Reserve which has Priority Pass, but have been turned away from lounges not accepting PP at peak times

When are the usual trips to france done in Airbus?

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

Anyone have any car rental hacks to get something other than a compact to show as a compact on the receipt? Traveling on federally reimbursable funds, so need to show a compact car. But hoping to get something nicer but not get flagged by the Bean Counters. Thanks!

Has anyone ever tried to use their PIV card to book the GSA rate for a personal hotel stay

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Is there a shuttle service from DIA to Aspen? Or am I better off just flying into Aspen?

Hi Fishes,

In my offer i see this line " We may require you to travel to other locations including in India and internationally." ,however in my earlier post I came to know that there are no travel opportunities in Telstra .Does it mean in the future I can negotiate with my manager for the travel?

What is your favorite Caribbean destination for a group trip (all adults, 3-4 couples)? My husband & I usually do an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica or a beachfront condo in St. Martin, but we’d love to go somewhere new. I think renting a beach house with a pool makes the most sense, but I have no clue where to look. Our priorities are great food & drinks and beautiful scenery.

Doing an India trip next year. Thoughts on spending 2/3 days in Jaipur? Too much? Any tips? TIA

Marriott or SPG credit card (for the sign on bonus)?

I’m hiring Systems Administrator II and Systems Engineers in Illinois and Colorado. I’d love any candidate referrals you have if you know someone who is on the job market!

*URGENT JOB NEEDED* - BDM/E-com account management roles
Hey all, as I see a lot of recruiters in this group I wanted to know if anyone is hiring for BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER or E-COM ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT or VENDOR MANAGEMENT roles.
My husband is relentlessly trying to get a job in Canada/US but he is getting either regret mails or no response for referrals.
It would be really helpful if there is anyone is hiring for such roles or if you can refer to those roles in your organization. TIA :)

Do you think that sales skills are an important/integral part of tech recruiting? Or recruiting in general? Do you see what you do as partly being "sales" oriented?

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I think one of the candidates I put forward is a pathological liar and lied about his background. Should I just let him fail during his technical interview portion or should I bring it to the attention of the hiring manager?

I know this probably isn't the bowl for this.

However, I rather reach out to the good folks here than have to rely on matrimony apps.

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????

Any advice would be appreciated.

Starting to see a lot of compensation threads and even within the same city, the variance of salary is really noticeable. I didn’t expect the spread to be this high, especially in high COL areas.

Thoughts on calendar being double booked? What are the etiquettes to be followed. Often people double book and it feels like “ my meeting is more important that whatever you have booked time for in yours”. If both meetings are same urgency/importance - what’s the best approach ? What are the expectations of leadership - to throw everything away and jump on to calls based on seniority ?
