I have a ton of Marriott points and want to go on a domestic vacation (bc we can’t travel almost anywhere internationally)- anyone have any favorite Marriott hotels/resorts they recommend? I’m open to international spots too assuming Americans are allowed!

If I use chase points to book a flight do I gain points from the airlines I’m flying?

My firm allows us to go into the negative with pto. I’ve gone into the negatives but now I’m leaving the firm before I can bring it back to zero/above zero. What happens?

I have 32k miles with THY that are about to expire. Normally I'd go ahead and book a flight, but I can't project which countries might be locked down again 5-6 months from now (haven't accrued enough PTO to travel in near future). The only other way to keep the miles is to pay $10 per 1000 miles, as far as I know. Are there other strategies?

Anyone know of a fast track program for status on American Airlines or is it just the challenge you have to pay for?

If you are taking sponsorship from your firm does that change your story around why X Business school? Do you let schools know you are going to take sponsorship? Does it increase your chances since they are paid upfront?

Is it standard to display your gender pronouns on zoom/slack etc in business school? I’ve noticed this is ubiquitous at Haas, but wondering if that’s specific to them

So sad to see my beloved Cooley becomes a laughing stock. I still remember the day that a classmate of my 7-year-old thought I am a food delivery guy. Can't blame him cause I was wearing a jacket with a large COOLEY logo. He just learned the word "Cooler" the day before.

When do we think things will take turn for the better? Are we continuing to spiral downward? Hate the uncertainty of the general economic trend!

Currently in risk consulting but seconding at an international bank for internal audit on trade related scopes. Recently got offered to join them at a higher level position. Need advice on career path of IA at bank if it's worth, because they pay would be gradually higher than consulting in the later years when reaching VP level and coming in from different industry, the new scopes are interesting. But what would I be missing out on if I stayed in consulting?

Industry imposter here…How do you show progression on your resume when your internal levels changed, but the title doesn’t indicate a promotion to the rest of the workforce. (e.g. a senior product manger to a technology strategist)…It seems like a lateral move unless you were internal and knew it was a level 7 to level 8.

When your team complains about not being able to find intellectual capital internally for what you are describing and you google what you said to send them an example.

At PwC(S&) are evaluations (career roundtables) driven primarily by utilization? How much do reinvest and snapshots play?
