Have a trip coming up today but I’m trying to switch to an earlier flight that’s 6 hours apart. United says the standby flight is sold out but I still see open seats in the seat map. There’s no one on the standby list - need some advice if I’ll get on the earlier flight or if to just stay home.

Seat maps display any unassigned seats, and there may be passengers who have cleared standby but not been assigned seats yet.

If you are waiting for the gate at it, there's always a chance other people will miss the window to check bags/board and then you'll make it on. Best case scenario: you make it on. Worst case: you hang out in the airport watching Netflix or something for 6 more hours then fly home.

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role.
