Hey fishbowl folks. Need an advice here. I am going to attend a 2 days training camp in Miami. I am located in the west coast. With 5hrs flight and 3 hrs time difference. I need to either book an overnight flight and get right into the training or arrive a day ahead to settle. But the firm only got me one night hotel. Should I ask for an additional night or take the overnight flight? Thanks.

I used to tell them I needed to fly the night before when I was based out of the Mountain west. Not ask, tell them. You can’t be expected to sleep 5 shitty hours on a plane and be functional the next day.

A big 4 should never make you take an overnight flight and work the next day. I know Deloitte would not.

I’d reach out to whoever’s organizing and explain. I doubt the extra hotel night will be a big deal

I personally haven't had an offer pulled from me but has anyone here had that happen? Or is it a bluff? Thanks, all!

Not a student… yet, but hope you can help. I’m in healthcare administration (executive assistant) and want a career change, moving into nursing.

I’m a single parent of a young child so I’m trying to minimize the time I won’t be able to work full time due to school and also ensure I’ll have a livable wage upon completion. Thank you in advance!
