I have a marketing promotion with Marriott Vacation Club and am looking to use the offer at a ski in/ski out resort next Feb. Other than Park City Mountainside, Summit Watch and Timber Lodge in Tahoe, are there other resorts I should consider? No availability for the dates I’m looking for at either of the 3, I’m aware they release dates weekly. Your recs for other brands welcome too. Thanks

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Seems like I can never get good redemption rates with Bonvoy points and after a year haven’t been able to use much. Saw that you can sell 100k points on eBay for about $700 after fees...worth it?

Anyone commuting from Midtown Toronto to Mississauga for work and willing to carpool??

I have decided to use ClassTag this year instead of Bloomz. I was paying a monthly fee for Bloomz and it was so glitchy

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Need to recommend a hotel to my family who's visiting from the USA in a couple of weeks. They like to stay in local boutique type places and BnBs, not chains. Any suggestions?

Had a flight out this morning on AA and volunteered my seat due to overbooking. Gate agent initially said $575, after boarding was complete she said she’s going to give me $850!

What is your title and how much vacation do you get?

Ever since moving to hybrid work, my coworkers are always complaining about how much they hate their jobs, how much of a hassle it is to travel or work from home. How can you be expected to do your job when you're just so far away from everything?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

PDM specialist at 96k. I have an option to select PDM Specialist 2 or PDM Manager for my promotion with the PPMD. Which one is advisable to prefer Pay wise? I am thinking to take PDM 2 to increase my base pay for the manager.

For those who have started traveling again... I recently started flying for work and am noticing increased discrimination on Delta Airlines. As a brown person have experienced that in the past, but lately it’s blatant. I’m a diamond and a million miler however, I see more and more out of turn upgrades. Have you experienced and what dis you do about it?

I have almost one year of experience in Tech Support in a renowned MNC then moved to another MNC as fresher and has been system engineer for two years. I have automation testing skills but worked in manual testing.

Can someone suggest a right path for growth?

Apart from automation testing as suggestion what else (certifications or any as such) could help my growth for either salary or promotion?

And also please advice me what are the possibilities for me to change company?

Anyone travelled internationally and returned in Advance Parole recently? I need my h1b visa stamped but due to delays in india I am not getting an earlier date for Dropbox. Due to family reasons, I need to travel now and traveling on AP is the only option. Wanted to check if anyone here any advice on my situation?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Just heard today that my project is going to shutdown in October. I am not sure what is going to happen with me since my manager did not say anything yet. Super stressed not sure what to do?

Hi everyone, I noticed that we did not have a bowl and I do enjoy discussions that are open and honest about our experiences at work.

Probably the least racy confession on here but I really liked Windows 8 and I'm sad there's nothing like it anymore

Hi fishes,any openings for HR transformation/ Automation role?

Any openings in Consulting? I'm an Experienced Associate at PwC (US) AC. Fresh hire from IIM. Need to switch since there's a lack of projects here

Is it worth the rent to stay in west village socially? Or just stay in exchange place in jersey and commute to midtown?

What would be suggested for long-term growth? Doing growth-related data science at a private equity firm or a role as a monetization pm in a FANG-related company? What are possible growth areas after the job at a PE firm? I'm concerned that a career in PM would plateau.

Left public accounting this year after 5+ years and looking for 10-20 hours of flexible & remote accounting/auditing/etc. type work. Message me if you have any opportunities that may fit this description. I would love to help a small business, but am open to anything fitting my vague guidelines.

Fellow goof balls, how much do you limit your goofiness at work? I’m a straight up clown but maintain stoic asian perception, wondering how much to let loose. Thoughts?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

Has anyone applied at Discord before? I was looking into to it.

Also do people still use cover letters?

Anyone on here working/worked at Moderna Norwood location? What are you experiences and do you recommend? Are there any “buts” or red flags?

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Anyone here play tennis? Recently moved here and trying to find some good courts. Recs are appreciated. TIA!

What do people think about buying bedding from hotel stores. I really like the westin heavenly bedding (pillows, comforter etc). However even with a 30 pct discount they still seem expensive. Any alt?

How much for delta gold on here?

Sorry 🐠know it has been asked but don’t find it. How to decide whether to redeem bonvoy/Marriott points or pay the night (personal travel)? What is the value you should seek to in Cents per point? Tia

Has anyone had Marriott gift you the next level of status if you’re only a few nights short of the requirement at end of year?

Why won’t AA let me book business class flights with points if they’re available to buy cash? (Qatar flight on AA site)

How can we redeem American Airlines miles on Qatar?

Vacation almost all on points. Plane and hotel covered. Suggestions for car rental? Not many Enterprise/Hertz points. Ik it's not the best transfer rate, but I have plenty of Chase points.

Is there a reason to get the luxury SPG amex if I got the new Chase Marriott card like a month ago?

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!

Have had several stays from a random person credit to my account (somehow my number seems to be connected to their reservations and name is very similar). Am I obliged to notify the hotel program?

I’m looking to book a weekend in NYC at Marriott. I will use points and have suite nights I could use as well. Any recommendations?

Any Hyatt or Marriott recs in LA? Nothing expensive though pls

Trying to understand how points work..I stayed in the same hotel twice, same number of nights, same price..I got 11k points the first time and 5k points the 2nd time...anyone understands how?

Does Omni have a mobile app? Can’t seem to find it anywhere...

Seems like I can never get good redemption rates with Bonvoy points and after a year haven’t been able to use much. Saw that you can sell 100k points on eBay for about $700 after fees...worth it?

Platinum Elite here, do you all just ask if any upgrades are available or rely on the front desk agent to upgrade you? I feel like a d-bag asking.

Had a flight out this morning on AA and volunteered my seat due to overbooking. Gate agent initially said $575, after boarding was complete she said she’s going to give me $850!

What are some good trips to do with Bonvoy points in the Northeast (thinking more spa/relaxing vs touring cities) e.g Berkshires, Vermont etc

Hello All,
I am between cars and need to use a rental to get to work. Any recommendations on cheap car rental services?

Currently using Priceline for the deals they offer but it still comes out to be extremely expensive. Need it for the next 3-4 weeks.
