hey all. i am interested in getting the united explorer card. as we know, this card gives you your first checked bag for free. if i am booking a flight to italy in economy, i get my first checked bag for free with my ticket. will the explorer card cover my second checked bag since that is the bag i will pay for or do i have to pay for my second checked bag? (since the explorer card states “first checked bag”)

To all the people searching PGs, i would suggest not to go with any online bookings like nestaway, zolostays.

The ideal thing is to land in hyderabad, book a hotel for two days and then go to office nearby area and search for PGs, you will get 100+ pgs in each location. Have a look at the room size, ventilation , bed size , if required taste the food also before booking PG. In case you need flat then also you will see " To let " boards everywhere, just call the number

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise.

If I should negotiate, any tips?

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.
