I have 110k diners club points and going to leave the firm. Should I transfer for 100k Delta miles or $1000 Amazon gift cards?

Go with delta and make a big trip out of it. Amazon will just get spent little by little over time and not seem momentous. I just spent 200k Delta miles to fly my wife and I in first to Europe; more than $2k in value. Prob with Delta is variable pricing and you just have to be on the lookout for redemption sales.

Spending 2 wks Belgium, Netherlands & Amsterdam during Dec with my mom. Need advice on what to do & not miss as well as recommendation on hotels. And from a country to country travel perspective...

So supposed to head out of town for a long weekend with friends starting the evening of 4/21. My one friend and her son tested positive for Covid on 4/13 and have been sick. She says she is coming on our trip. On the following Thurs 4/28 I need to spend time with my 92 year old diabetic father. Do I go on this trip? I don’t think my friend has quarantined long enough to be sitting with 6 people driving in a van to our location unmasked as well as in the hotel room. Would you go on this trip?

I’ve been working as a vp of BD for the past year for a startup IB and I had hoped that it would get me a conversation for moving forward in the industry but I can’t seem to get a second look from most places. I’ve had my resume looked at, I’ve done all of the follow up emails, but still nothing. Any leads to moving into a position anywhere? Note: I’m in my mid 30s and made a radical? career change from operations and logistics management to the financial sector. Not sure if it matters.

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.
