If I’m one flight away (~$300) from Silver status on delta, is that worth it to get another flight before the new year? Status rolls over to 2022

What’s your home airport? If you’re close to a Delta hub or live in Atlanta, silver isn’t helpful - you’re a peasant among kings. Others who frequently fly have a higher medallion status, so you never get upgrades.

Yes - upgrades (immediate return), miles (long term) and the chance to earn a higher medallion status (long term)…

Didn’t delta extend status into next year ?

like

I guess yea. I wouldn’t force it so if you’re choosing for a flight you’re supposed to take anyway then yea go for delta. Silver isn’t that great but that said you will get bonus points on every flight.

Role the miles over to next year and try to get a higher status tier like platinum.

Happens automatically for me. Google “rollover mqms to next year”.

Worth it for the free economy plus seats.

How would you go about finding a remote AE role with a 100k base?

I have about 7-8 years of sales experience and have consistently out performed my OTE. I absolutely love my current role but I feel like I have out grown the company as there isn't a ton of opportunity to make more than I am currently making.

I opened up my LinkedIn to recruiters but all the offers are 60-70k base and 120-140k OTE. I am shooting for MINIMUM 80k base but ideally 100k or more.

What would you do?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
