American has a promo listed on their app - use Rocketmiles to book a hotel and earn X000 American points. Has anyone here used it? If I book a Marriott properly, can I apply my Marriott retroactively?

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet.

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

FCB Health Chicago - What’s it like?

Been with my boyfriend for 4 years. His family is much more wealthier than mine (6 cars, owns 4 houses, part of 3 businesses). My family is middle class and I feel inadequate around his family because they’re so wealthy. I feel depressed because I can’t live his lifestyle and sad for our future. His family just bought a house for us and my family can’t even buy a second car. Idk how to go about this situation.

Hey fellow 🐠, what do you think of making a fishbowl to meet up with fellow consulting professionals in the same city? To grow our network, get some more insights etc.? Would anyone be interested?

Is there a need for freelance community managers?

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Feeling very anxious. I have no idea why or about what. I just feel this lump in the pit of my stomach and a tightness in my chest and worry/fear on my mind. Like something very bad is about to happen

Hey all, I had a web application running on Google App Engine (from 2011). Didn’t need much caretaking and at some point appengine got an overhaul and now I can’t figure out how to navigate the setup. I’m told the project needs an organization but I can’t figure out how to connect the ancient project with my org. Any googlear out there with some insight?

So the housing market will crash this year based on the analysis, why are people still buying homes?

Joining EY soon. Should I be worried about layoffs happening supposedly in June/July?

Looking for recommendations on time management books or apps , tips in general. Have been feeling overwhelmed with all the tasks and projects lately.

Has anyone rented out a space at a Marriott hotel for an event? Aren’t you supposed to get Bonvoy points based on the amount you spend?

EY 🐠, just wanted to check, do you have an IT Strategy group within Advisory? Doesn’t seem to make sense as I was under impression that only Parthenon does strategy work. Do they do actual strat work?

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

90% utilization, great snapshots BUT no relationships with the partners in my practice + currently on beach. Everyone I've worked with is shocked. Was told there were HC quotas. Not meritocratic.

Any good book recommendations? Both fiction and non

Sign that I'm hanging with older/mature crowd: they're OK with going home at 11:30pm. Dunno if I'm ok with this 😳

After a year using my home office setup, especially the 27 inch monitor, how can I ever go back to the traveling life with tiny laptop screen? 😔

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Deloitte guys - Serious question.
How is Analytics & Cognitive doing at D? I have an offer and I am not sure if there will be layoffs again. I am on work visa so will be difficult.
Role will be for Google Cloud & Analytics. Current job doesn't suck much though.

Looking for some book recommendations :)

Business travellers with status get priority boarding - why do you go stand in line way before boarding? You don’t need to worry about cabin space, what are you trying to prove? 🤔

It’s been 9 weeks since I had to go to bed on Sunday nights with 4AM alarms, one of my far and few happy moments in these uncertain times..

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.
