How do upgrades to nicer rooms work for Marriott?

Posting as :

There are upgrades using suite nights acquired through elite choices, random complimentary status upgrades at arrival, and the occasional call ahead and politely request upgrade for a certain reason (works better with status). None of these are guaranteed but from start to finish they are the highest chance to lowest.

Asking nicely works wonders

You can probably get some points. Be aware that American tends to have mor delays than Delta so switching won’t help. It’s also a much suckier airline in general. At least 60%of my AA flights are delayed in a year

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
