If I pay for 4 SPG nights with points will that count as SPG nights? I'm at 71 nights on year and want to get to 75. Done with work for year but have 5 night vacation at SPG coming up.

Yes, award nights count

Yes I'm doing that now. You have to check in though FYI

At least with Marriott you have been able to "buy back" platinum. 4 award nights is probably more points than just a straight buy back...

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!

Hello Fishes,
What are your leave plans?
(Year end is nearing, most of the accounts must have or will move to Code Freeze period and some of the leaves will expire by year end).

1. No leave plans at all.
2. Utilise some part of leave.
3. Utilise all leaves for Vacation.
4. Utilise all leaves for Upskill/Reskill.

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.
