I have been kicked out of GS twice, unless you are traveling internationally I found little additional value. Now after hitting 1k in May/June I jump to another carrier to increase my flexibility for personal travel. This has worked for me but my situation maybe unique.

How many $ did you spend? I spent a little over half this year than last so a steep decline

GS is 50k spend... did you have intl assignments to hit that?

What’s the best things about having GS? Seriously.

Service when you really need it! They go above and beyond. Too many to list, but it all centers around service and making travel a lot easier than it otherwise is

@A2, as a sad 1K myself, I always hear it’s the combo of being able to use your GPUs/RPUs on award flights + the higher GPU/RPU upgrade priority. Though granted, I love international travel so it matters more to me. Don’t really know what else particularly meaningful it gets you... unless you’re the type of person who takes unusual pleasure in pre-pre boarding the 1Ks or getting served your meal before 1Ks the few times they remember that either status level is supposed to be served first.

The main thing is you get taken care of better when things go wrong. For example it’s really helpful if you have a tight connection (they’ll pick you up at the gate and drive you to your next flight for example). Also great if you need to rebook at the last minute or have to change flights due to a cancellation or delay. Plus almost always get complimentary domestic upgrades.

First time GS here. Spent $41k, based in Chi

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

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?
