I absolutely despise people who place their backpacks, small enough to fit under the seats, in the overhead bins. Ok, I can sit some slack if backpack is the only item they are carrying onboard.

Financially entering the most expensive season of my life 🤦🏾‍♂️. Making the most bread in the family is all fun and games till you get those christmas lists! Not to mention flights to see family. Do y'all feel like being successful in finance changes the expectations family members have for you, especially during the holiday season?

Starting as an SM in S&A on the strategy side in the next few weeks. What does travel budget generally look like? I understand first class flights are a no go domestic which sucks, but hoping hotel and food budget makes up for it. Also, does Deloitte pay for platinum Amex or is that out of pocket?

Anyone have a special platinum Marriott support number or contact person to resolve a lingering issue?

Hi everyone. Not on H1B just yet but does anyone have experience traveling to Mexico,Canada or the adjacent islands on an expired F1 visa (Still OPT eligible) through the Automatic Visa Revalidation?

Out of context question.

Does anyone know 80G foundations that we can donate to, who could give something worthy in return?

One example, ISKCON membership. It costs 35k, but you get stays at ISKCON guest houses domestic/internationally at minimal costs of room maintenance.

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

Best group tours for 30 year old solo traveler in Europe? Thinking the Balkans, Greece, Turkey and Portugal. Can someone tell me which one is the best for my age group? I want to meet people preferably other solo backpackers around my age mid 20s to mid 30s. I would like to go out and party almost every night but also want to see the towns during the day

Leisure travel is still a bit out of my budget, but I’ve gotten a lot of points from referring friends to my travel credit card by making a post on Facebook. That feels like a once and done opportunity. Does anyone here have tips on getting large amounts of credit card points to use for travel?

Do you fly out to family for the holidays or do they come to you? We're hosting Christmas for the first time and having the entire family come to town for it. What are some can't miss holiday events in the city? Ideally accessible because my father is in a wheelchair.

Anyone did transit though Hong Kong? Seems we need to register and get approval? Can you pls share your experience if any?

Just went on a 3 week vacation to India. Still flying high from it. If you need a hardcore change in perspective. Get your asses over there. Life is good people. Life is good.

Switching jobs soon and will have a couple weeks at the end of November/start of December before the new job starts. Does anyone have any recommendations on a quick trip. I’m based in Chicago. Prefer international, since I’ve traveled to most places in the US. Thank you!

Does anyone travel with a roller? If so, what are your favorite travel friendly ones?

Does it really matter how hard you work or how outstanding your ratings are? At the end I feel you'll just get a promotion in X# years...

I am going way over budget but 1. Even s seniors have admitted some unique circumstances have happened and 2. I’m working like insane hours 3. I’m trying - I can tell by tone management is not happy with me. I’m legit trying the best I can ....

Does anyone know of a good place online to look for UI/UX designers who specialize in Figma?

Hi Fishes in the Bowls,
I need referral for Amazon, I am having 4.6 years' of experience in networking and systems.

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation. And there's extreme hierarchy, where even after you spend 24 hours working on something, the director decides he wants something completely different and you delete and restart. (Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)

I’m 30, should I consider joining S& Middle East as Senior Associate in attempt to make Manager and leave? Is it too exhausting? Will I burn out before I get there? And how long to Manager?

Anyone work with AI at a macro level? I am trying to understand how AI is consumed today within software? I would guess software companies use cloud providers AI solutions followed by open source and then maybe through smaller providers, proprietary AI and APIs. Anyone has deeper understanding of this?

Anyone done a feature for Vanguard Law or similar? How did that work out for you? Did your outside counsel receive a shake down to sponsor the piece?

I have been stiff arming Vanguard for years but am curious if there’s any actual benefit. Or at least funny stories.

Hi! Excited we have a space finally :)

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Just started my 10 straight days of the “no pants dance”! Otherwise known as a remote week. Haven’t had one in a very long time.

Mulling over an offer. Is work at MBB way more work / significantly more intense than Big 4? I feel like I have a good brand/rep at EY; not sure if effort to rebuild all of that at MBB is worth it?

How do you guys study for certifications? I feel so distracted

Do any strategy arms of Big 4 or MBB do pre-MBA internships?

Any good book recommendations? Both fiction and non

Question from a newbie consultant - What are some good online courses/ books to improve consulting skills?

AA delayed a flight 7 hours on Saturday before cancelling it and giving us no help, monetary or otherwise, in finding lodging. Rebooked Sunday for a very early flight, got home 24 hours late.

Good consulting books? Not talking case prep but a fun read about the industry and what it takes to succeed, etc. Thank you!
