How do you handle flying with no status? I have something on American, United and Southwest, but nothing on Delta, but I “have to” fly Delta next week.

You handle it by boarding the plane in your assigned zone, napping/reading/working, then exiting the plane. Not that difficult.

Wash rinse repeat

Step 1 - check in
Step 2 - go through security. If confused, do what you’d do if you had status, but slower.
Step 3 - wait at gate, board when your group is called
Step 4 - board in group, sit in seat. If instructions unclear, imagine a normal chair that’s not on a plane
Step 5 - exit plane upon landing

Just buy first class if it matters to you enough to post about it. If the flight is long enough to matter (>3 hours) your firm probably pays for it anyway

ours doesn’t! 🥰

What kind of question is this? But don’t worry, your client will pay for your status soon enough

I would board with ppl with status/a friend haha

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
