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 was contacted by an Amazon recruiter for a remote Sr. Program Manager role. I took and passed the assessment and was moved to the hiring manager round which was scheduled for tomorrow. I got an email tonight saying that the Director of the group decided that the person must be in Seattle. I am in Austin, which is not an option. I’m disappointed! The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?
