Got an email about a transfer bonus expiring this month, and I’m torn. I don’t have a trip planned, but the bonus is tempting. Do you ever move points without a redemption in mind, or do you only transfer when you’re ready to book?

Only transfer with an imminent (i.e., literally once the points get over) redemption

I would never speculatively transfer unless Hyatt had a transfer bonus (it'll never happen).

Out of curiosity, what is the bonus and where?

Generally, transfers, even with bonuses, aren't a good redemption unless you have an immediate need.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

Hi All,

I have a situation in front of me. I got an offer from small company or we could say startup company Uzio (pdt based) and my manager in current company didn't revert back with any retaining offer. It's been a month and 27 days left in np.
My dilemma is that my current team including reporting manager are very rude and not supportive. I don't want to work in this project. But if I join in that startup company, there's a risk as everyone is talking about recession, firing. Suggestions?

I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
