Has anyone ran into the issue of your first name being attached to your middle name for a flight booked through a third party? Wondering if this will be an issue for an international flight I have coming up, I called American Airlines/BofA (who I booked the ticket through) and they said it was fine but wanted to be extra safe.

For example: Johndavid Doe

Happens to me every time. Never an issue over several years of flights

Just had this happen to my whole family - was not an issue for an American Airlines flight departing from Canada

This often happens to me and I thought it was going to be a problem but it wasn't. Domestic flight

Had something similar but even worse happen to be on an flight from China. They switched my first and last names (Chinese naming order) - wasn’t a problem.

I have a long first name so every single flight this happens to me. Never had an issue domestic or international

Very reassuring, thanks all

Always happens to me

Happens all the time especially if you book through a third party site.

No problem getting on the plane, but the main issue is TSA precheck. If the name doesn't match it sometimes won't be added to your ticket.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
