Best SPG + Marriott hotels in Beijing?

Anyone ever stayed at Westin Tokyo? Is the concierge lounge any good?

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?

What are some good Marriott properties to stay at in the Dallas area with points?

Best Hyatt in Hawaii (ideally Kona or Maui)?

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Best Escape Room in Houston?

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap. Seniors help is needed everywhere so if your interested, come cash in your chips!

Failed interview at McKinsey + Bain… Feeling very de-motivated for this upcoming grad cycle. At what point do I give up/think I’m not cut out for this?

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

Hi folks,

If a person resigns on April month when yearly reviews are going to happen and bonus are being sent out.
So, can he get the performance bonus because he served the last whole year with dedication?

It would be helpful if managers can answer this because they are the people who approves or decline this request.

Anybody moved back to USI recently? I'm supposed to travel back soon and getting a bit anxious about the 14hr journey (haven't flown since the pandemic began). Would it be fair to ask Deloitte for business class instead of economy? I guess it would be easier to maintain social distancing in business, but would it even matter?

She doesn't know the real reason why I'm lukewarm about kids: I don't think she's matured enough. I'm trying to plan for retirement and a house, but all she wants is her next overseas vacation

When you think you have made a mistake in life, when you have regrets, be gentle with yourself. Remember that you have the power to make choices. I've learned a lot about this from my friend...

The turkeys nest is where you find inspiration

It’s not that bad.

I think Alexa is my best friend.

I was late to an interview.

I’m type A, never late, certainly not to an interview. I called & sent an email as soon as I knew I would be delayed. They had me come in anyway. Am I totally screwed?

My AD isn’t good at conceptualization and isn’t helping me come up with ideas. (Maybe bc they went from GD to AD). How do I convince them their job involves more than graphic design and mock ups?

I’m at a point that I need to take Xanax regularly to get through my day. Seriously...ACCOUNT what is wrong with you? I’m type A, but yank that stick from your ass. You are UNBEARABLE!

I don’t understand people who choose the bathroom stall next to yours when EVERY OTHER stall is free

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

ahhhh.. I feel better now 💆🏻‍♂️

Is anyone else in the middle of switching jobs? Should coronavirus be giving me second thoughts about making a move?

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

Got a personal email from HR asking to evaluate our executive team’s performance. Thinking this is a no win situation.

I am not ok.

Is 33 too old for a nose piercing?

I am stupidly rejecting recruiters with legit offers because I am waiting for The One. The offer to end all offers. But they are taking entirely too long to notify me. They keep telling me to hold on.

If you started a new job right before quarantine started or during, how are you adjusting? Any advice/suggestions? How is your company helping you? How does it feel overall?
