I assume that business class would give you the most value but impossible to tell without the pieces and points you will be using. I would prefer one way business and one way economy then both ways economy

Depends on your earn to burn ratio. Sounds like you’re on the lower side of available miles. Is that because you’re newer to consulting? You don’t travel much? Or are you able to burn through your points frequently?

Then burn for the business class imo

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

What all are the benefits IQVIA provides. Need to understand on below points-

7. Bonus that excludes from CTC and variable
8. Annual/Half yearly parties
9. Goodies or gifts during major festival
10. Anything else 😅
