I have 400k Marriott points and im planning a trip to Hawaii in December. Burn the points? Or hoard them for an international trip which in earliest likelihood won’t happen until summer 2023?

Marriott points are consistently being devalued - no point sitting on them

like

Depends on value per point. Just went to Hawaii and used points on one island and paid on the other.

like

If you look at the value ($ per point ), Hawaii is one of the best places in the world to use points because there hotels are just insanely expensive.

On top of points being devalued even further in 2023, yes you should use points for all nights needed on this trip!

like

All of the cat 8s are great hotels. If you want some cheaper point options, the Westin hapuna beach and koala landing are both excellent hotels. I would avoid Oahu and west side of Maui (expect the ritz ) but just my opinion!

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.
