If you use American Airlines and don’t choose to use the AA Hotels site because you want the direct Hilton or Marriott points, you can still use the AA Shopping site to get 1 extra mile and LP for your Hilton or Marriott stays. Just link from the AA Shopping site to the Hilton/Marriott site when you make a reservation.

I have an opportunity to be a Food and Beverage manager for a hotel I have been for 6 years. Currently I am overseeing all operations but want to focus more on the F&B world. Would anyone know how much salary I should be asking for this role?

Thoughts on the Sheraton Kauai? I’m considering the offer they sent. Is Kauai a nice island?

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

My flight is at 6:45am tomorrow Im in the north end - will uber/lyft be available at this time??

Looking to find a new dr as we start trying to conceive this spring, but know we will be moving a few hours away at the end of next year. Does it make sense to find a new dr locally while we’re trying to conceive for the 6-7 months before we move or would it make more sense to get established with a provider in the town we’re moving to and just travel further for now to have the same person end to end? (Continued)

I just got a promotion that will involve 90% travel, I am excited about the role, but I have kids and me travelling means no one to take my kids to day care on days my wife works as she resumes 6am.

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

Who should get my loyalty? United or American?

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

“At dinner John (client) said I have nice legs, grabbed my thigh, put his arm around me & invited me to his hotel. Seems inappropriate.” Boss: “Well we won’t be taking him to dinner again this year”🤯

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

Since GTM was moved out of P&T and into Consulting, does that mean our salaries/bonuses won't have the 25% cap that everyone's talking about?

GTM moving back into consulting is a good idea in theory, but it’s like a train wreck happening in slow motion.

Sure feels like they are pushing to stand up a traditional CRE network for product sales inside of consulting … that won’t work in a service business. Some of us have seen this movie before - different theatre.

Watch how this plays out over next 6 months.

How long does it typically take a M3 to get promoted to SM in P&T.

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?

I am a new joinee to CTS . It's going to be a month now and I haven't received my laptop.

Industry imposter here…How do you show progression on your resume when your internal levels changed, but the title doesn’t indicate a promotion to the rest of the workforce. (e.g. a senior product manger to a technology strategist)…It seems like a lateral move unless you were internal and knew it was a level 7 to level 8.

My dad used to make 7 bucks an hour. Now I work at a big 4 making the big bucks in the family. 7.50 an hour when you take into account the extra hours worked...

Hey anyone willing to swing a referral for roles in change management consulting or healthcare consulting

Worthwhile getting the AWS cloud practitioner cert? (Will there be a return financially in ease of finding job or higher salary)?

How do you deal with an SO also in consulting that works so much because she/he is a constant overachiever? My wife is the type to lead multiple ERGs, coordinate volunteering events, jump in and do extra BD work, says yes to everything basically.... I’m the complete opposite (and interestingly been promoted faster) and idk how to tell her to chill out and enjoy life outside of work.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
