I see far too many consultants at the Georgetown Westin. Drinks next week?

General musing - it seems like the vast majority of recs in here are for super expensive hotels and resorts (St Regis, etc). I work in consulting and make good money but can’t fathom spending $600+ a night on a hotel. Am I really in the minority or is it just that ppl staying at the Ritz want to show off?

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

Any recs for good light reads? Looking for something to breeze through on vacation that's light hearted or funny! Generally like romance, memoirs, or pop psychology books.

Should I stay at the Sheraton Waikiki or Outrigger Reef? Similar price for comparable rooms.

Just logged into my Marriott account and my platinum elite downgraded to gold elite. That does not sound correct, right? I had to get 40 nights to retain titanium so it seems weird to skip two levels

Coming to SD for vacation - first time! Where would you recommend someone stays? Things I’m into: food (specifically seafood), walks along the beach, markets/shopping (handmade, artsy stuff, boutiques, etc.).

How in gods name does one watch chromecast or anything off another hdmi port on Westin tvs?! There's no source button to switch input, not on the remote or on the physical set 😠

Anyone have any book recommendations related to business/finance? Reading Billion Dollar Whale now and can’t put it down!

6000 points + 110/night for Westin Grand Cayman

Good deal?

+367/night rate or 12000 points free otherwise excluding taxes fees and resort fees

Can someone confirm:

Marriott>SPG for earning points right now?

Is the Westin leaf soap white for anyone else this week?? The Sacramento Westin has literally the same soap only its white. I feel so confused and lost.

Going to listen to “The Man” as my prep song for big client meetings 💃🏻

When I checked in last week to the Westin I put down my own personal card instead of the Amex for the room security thing... why do I see a charge for the entire amount of it on my statement?

starting corp dev role soon. any industry agnostic or worthwhile books to read that anyone would recommend?

NYC people- what do you miss most? I miss my daily Starbucks runs...not quite the same caffeine vibe when I'm wfh.

Confused about what SPG counts as a stay. Typically I'd assume it's 2 or more nights but am seeing one or more online. Can anyone confirm? One stay and 5 nights away from gold

Has anyone been to the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton. Using some points for 3 nights. Tried to use Suite Night Awards but web site says they don’t accept or are all booked.

What’s the best book on entrepreneurship you’ve ever read?

Ritz Carlton asking to cancel my 3 night reservation (less than a week in advance in a booked out city due to large conf) in exchange for 200k points... fair or should ask for more? What's the policy

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

I feel like I havent been performing to my best potential at work and I know it’s starting to show and my coworkers can probably recognize it. My boss just gave me some feedback and I am having a hard time not going down the rabbit hole of negative self talk. Any feedback on receiving constructive feedback from team ? How do you not feel insecure about your job ? I feel like I am going to get fired if I keep this up but maybe it’s a good thing I’ve recognized it now before it’s too late ?!

Corporate: what number of hours do you bill in your craziest month of the year? I aim to hit or exceed 165 per month (with 1950 target). Rough categories, but I generally consider: 165-185 a solid month, 185-215 a very busy month, and 220+ a crazy month. Curious how others view it? (I just hit 250 for the first time (with two OOO days) and I’m exhausted, but I’ve heard of ppl hitting 300+,so interested in whether there’s any sort of general consensus on this stuff, or if it’s purely subjective)

Hi there!!
is there anyone in here that’s in title insurance? I’m wondering what the pay scale is? I’m deciding whether not I want to stay at my company. I just don’t know what people are getting paid out there. Especially in Utah. Let me know if anyone knows. ☺️

Can any of you recommend a free hashtag research tool? Thank you!

Any tips on assessing if the hiring manager will be a good manager and person to work with?

I’d be hoping to learn a lot from them, as they would be pretty much be all of my day-to-day interactions and team. I’ve received an offer but have asked for another convo as I’m still unsure on culture, WLB and training etc as it’s a new team so no other people in comparable roles to talk to.

Dear fishes. Has anyone recently resigned from virtusa? Can u please dm urgently

Another 14 hour day. Haven’t eaten dinner. My friends and family are worried because they never see or hear from me anymore. No clean clothes. I want to cry.

"lastly but not leastly" 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I think I have a burgeoning pet peeve.

Just opened a Roth IRA with fidelity for the first time. Do I need to do anything special to contribute 6000 towards 2019s limit? Or do I just put in 6000 and it’ll know that I’m putting that towards 2019? Not sure if that’s a dumb question.

Those of you who left for industry... how did you know it was time to go?
