Has anyone traveled on American Airlines with skis? Baggage policy says you are to use two separate bags (ski bag+boot bag) and this will count as one bag. Any issue if you travel with a combined bag?

No, but be aware of size and weight restrictions. Also print or save down a copy of the rules. Some agents don’t know the rules (or claim not to) and will try to charge you an excess baggage fee.

Wait. You have a ski bag that has a separate compartment for your boots? All in one bag?

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!
