I was looking into the # of covid cases and it looks like the number of cases due to the delta variant is at the same level as March of 2020. Do you think it is a sign of upcoming market downturn? Being cash heavy would be a good idea?

Has anyone done a math lesson on the growth and analysis of the corona virus? If so how did you present it and what resources did you use?

FB fam, pls help me with Best use of CSP 40K bonus: cash back ($400) or redeem for travel? Keep in mind I have 500K United miles and 400K SPG points, so thinking if I really need more travel credit.

Why is it not ok to work remote from another country? I know people say tax issues but can someone elaborate? My friend at Facebook is able to work remote from his home country due to Covid with no issues.

What’s the ethics around conflict of interest? I can see that you shouldn’t work for direct competitors directly (ie Delta and United), but what about agencies (ie Ogilvy and Publicis)? Or even by client (ie multiple agencies ok but you don’t handle Toyota with Ogilvy and Nissan at Publicis)? Assume it’s not explicitly stated contractually.

With the Marriott/SPG merger, will the nights from stays at both brands from this year be combined in August and count towards status next year? Or do I still need to commit to one for now?

Just start seeing a girl consistently, then get put on a travel project.... Welp 😒

INSEAD candidate here, thinking about the exchange program with Wharton. Anyone here currently on campus? I'd love to know how much classes and activities are still being impacted by Covid.

Anyone fly Alaska? How does it compare to delta, SW, etc?

Everyone talking about “re focusing on what matters”, or “putting things in perspective “... I’m a skeptical and believe after this COVID madness is gone, we will all go back to our old selfish self... I love the fact our carbon footprint is much lower now, but again, believe this will be short lived. What do you think?

American Airlines: the La Guardia of airlines

Have always liked mekanism. What’s their Seattle location like? Just Alaska airlines?

feeling sorry for the guy/girl who forgot their microsoft laptop/ tablet in an AA flight from DFW to ORD sitting in 16e. Turned it in just now. Hope you are in FB and you get it back.

Recently cleared an interview from Atos Syntel, need to know about how Atos Syntel is in terms of everthing ?

In your experience, do any agencies foster a culture of mentorship? Meaning mentorship is encouraged, celebrated, and incentivized? So many have mentorship programs that go unused, but I’m curious if there are any agencies that bake it into their culture.

Can you make Partner on H1B?

Have any of your agencies taken steps towards acknowledging and addressing mental health issues in your office? Care to share, good or bad? Hoping to get ideas to take back to our leadership. Thanks!!

What type of job boards ninche or not do you find to be the most useful for the talent you hire and what type of roles are they best for?

New AWMA... curious to know what a reasonable salary expectation is and what the growth looks like for an associate within a growing ensemble. For context, background is more analytical, taking CAIA level 2 in a couple weeks, then plan on pursuing CFA.

I am recently received an invite for a meeting with a partner and a HR person which means I am either going to be laidoff or put on a reduced schedule (60% time for 60% pay). I would rather being laidoff since I don’t want to still work 100% with 60% pay. How would I frame it if they put me on the reduced schedule? I don’t want to say “you have to fire me” since it might be counted as resignation and I won’t receive the severance package.

Had an initial interview with a recruiter at EY and stupidly lowballed myself when asked for what compensation I’d require. Was invited for a second interview….. but have I committed a fatal flaw? This bowl makes me think I should’ve quoted at least 30k more 😳

I am having 5+ years of experience in backend development and I have cleared all technical rounds of EY for SDE 2 role. Tomorrow, I am going to have an HR round for a salary discussion. can anyone suggest the expected salary for the same profile, what should I ask HR about related to compensation?

For a potential full-time role, I’ve gone through a few rounds of interviews and was about to schedule another one, but then got radio silence from the recruiter. About a week has gone by. Any words of advice?

My employer was acquired yesterday and I got word that my termination is effective today, but I have a meeting with someone from the acquiring company’s HR today to review separation documentation and discuss a potential consulting agreement. Any insight on what to expect? Is there typically any room for negotiation in these situations? When I hear consulting, I think of reduced benefits, mainly lack of health insurance which wouldn’t be ideal.

Does anyone know where I can find interview case studies?

Recruiter from Amazon reached out for a phone screen for a L7 role st Amazon - Principal Product Manager, Technical. I'm a first year M and have been in consulting mostly. I do have the technical expertise the role requires but no product management experience per se. Think L7 at Amazon for me is a reach. My concern is if I interview and fail, I will be barred from interviewing from another role for 6 to 12 months. Should I give it a shot or save my chance for something more realistic (e.g. L6)?
