Hello fishes,

I have 5 American Airlines trip credits ($700 value) expiring in 2 weeks.

I'm thinking of booking a flight to travel in Jan 2027 using these credits and then cancel within few days to get a new trip credit and expiry date. Would this work?

Is there any other tip to extend these credits that would work?

Taking my first flight after a year!! I used to go through the international terminal for faster lines. Is that still the best way or just easier to go to the south terminal ??

I have a awesome design for luggage that is designed for people that usually fly first class. It keeps all clothes in travel on straight during any flight and optimizes the use of first class luggage

Currently have chase sapphire but thinking of switching to Reserve. Should I?
Wife will also be authorized user, we do travel and will use this card for all our purchases

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

American Airline q - if I have Gold status and an American Airlines credit card - does that mean I get two free checked bags or one

It’s hard to come across good news about India, but must agree that they have handled coronavirus quite well. As of last week, 1.6 million tests vs 6000 in US; full travel screening. Way to go!

🌈 Hiring PM’s! 🌈

I work for an L&D company near Denver. We build learning technologies/simulations for large corporations for mid-level managers to C-suite! I exited from Deloitte (5 YOE) and pay is nice. No travel and WFH 2-3 days a week. PM me if interested 🤓

Hi all! Moving from TX to NY and have an offer for 80K. Is this reasonable for someone with ~3 years of experience or am I being lowballed here?

Day of remote interviews at a tech co for in-house. 5 YOE. Planning on wearing a suit. Tie or no tie?

Looking at a job in Kobo (Rakuten) for Data Analyst, any insights as in the technical portion of the interview ? Also, any recommendations regarding the company? Thank you!

Advice please! I’ve 20 yrs of Corp brand + advertising + marketing + strategy & 5 years in higher ed in Gallup certified Strengths creative coaching & international recruiting experience. I’m trying to get back into the Corp world and/or an agency. I’m experiencing (what I think) is ageism. I’ve had a non-traditional career path that has allowed me to develop a number of diverse skills & have recommendations from c-suites...my background is in vis com & SixSigma Greenbelt. Where do I fit in? Tx!

Studied accounting and finance but worried about the future of this profession. Currently working in Forensic Consulting but want to leave. Should I go back to undergrad and get a computer science degree? I honestly want a career where I could at least potentially make 600 k per year. I feel in accounting it’s near impossible. Additionally, I’m sick of people looking down on me. My gf is getting a PhD in a social science and gets way more respect then me. I am 25 also. HELP

Looking for honest opinions: would you trust career advice from someone who doesn’t necessarily have a background in career coaching but has always been “that friend” that everyone calls for career advice, resumes, salary negotiations etc?
I have a long background in management and have been very successful in climbing the ladder but I would love to start career coaching on the side. Any feedback is helpful!

Had my final round last week at McK and still haven’t heard back. Resisting the urge to ping the recruiter until at least next week.
As an aside, I sent thank-you notes to all of the interviewers but didn’t hear back. None bounced back so I’m hopeful that I got the email convention right. Send me good vibes!

I am a medical social worker at a hospital since graduating with my MSW. I have been at the job a year and feeling burnout with little options for movement within the company at the moment. Besides case management and therapy (no individual, school, or CMH), what else can I do with my degree? Any advice is appreciated! :)

People who pivoted/trying to pivot to PM - what resources did you use/do you recommend? There are some online courses or boot camps that have $1-2k tuition fees - worth it? Which ones are worth it?

Offtopic: Please suggest some good noise cancellation earbuds.
Budget around 3k can go up and down if it's a good deal.

Hi guys, I’m a Cybersecurity graduate student. Would like to get into Crowe if anyone will be willing to refer me,
Thanks in advance,

My mother in law is dying of cancer but is also a toxic person. My husband has mixed feelings around letting her dump all of her emotions that should be handled with a therapist on him. Beyond this,

Unsure if my bf and I are incompatible or if I’m not compromising enough. How do you know the difference? He has so many great qualities that I love but also lacks some qualities that I would like to have but idk if I would be giving up on someone that is great for little things.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. 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

Fiancé’s milestone birthday coming up. We both love experiences and enjoy the city. Welcome all the help to make it special for her!
