I’m global services with United and got upgraded on a transatlantic flight. Is it acceptable for me to let my wife and 15-mo old daughter (in lap) take the upgrade? Asking for etiquette reasons. Thx!

Senior analysts - how’s your WLB? What do think about returning to full travel?

Taking my first project with travel. A bit concerned about maintaining a healthy lifestyle while traveling M-Th for 3 months. Has anyone found a way to keep a good routine for staying in a gym/running and keeping a good diet while on the road?

Thanks in advance

Looking to move to San Antonio and we're looking at places in Alta Vista and El Dorado. Pros and cons? We have two kids under five, so looking for a nice family community with good schools.

Do any of the top consulting firms have analytics roles (preferably not super technical) that don’t require weekly travel?

I am wanting to start the adoption process. I reached out to pathways to parenthood for information first from my personal email. I got a response within 30 min asking me to email them back from my work email. I did so and it has now been 3 days with no response. Is there any other way of contacting them?

Interviewing at McKinsey and wanted to understand the reality of the travel expectations of a solution leader at the manager level. Thanks!

it’s been 3 years in this city and I really need to hang out with someone other than my boyfriend. But I’m terrible at “networking"

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Sometimes I feel like I am a drone that just works all the time and I have no friends.

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

How important is it to go out with my team after work? I am pretty tired after work and would love to go back to the hotel, prepare for the next day, and develop new skills. I would go out....cont'd

When to break-up with someone? I’ve been dating my gf for 6 years (2 long distance 1yr on a break and 3 living together. Nothing terrible about the relationship but I’m not happy and no longer feel in love. I’ve tried working it out but haven’t felt the relationship has gotten any better. I feel at this point the best thing to do for both of us is split (she shouldn’t be with someone that can’t love her fully). So here’s the options continued…

My best friend has Celeste!

Dyslexia! After having our kindergartener son tested (privately) related to ADHD, we were told he may have dyslexia too (which would explain why he struggles so much with phonics but is amazing at sight words). He has a very high IQ. As a voracious reader, I am finding myself unexpectedly distraught that something that I have loved so much will be such a struggle for him, and worrying that it will affect his motivation and may steer him away from things he may otherwise love.
Tips/Commiseration?

What are typical PM title structures? I know they are a bit different everywhere. I’m building a team from the ground up and am curious what other agencies and in house teams look like. Thanks!

What’s your hourly rate for web development and where are you located? If you’re able to share, I’d really appreciate it. My agency is trying to figure out how to strike a balance in quoting website projects. We’re based in New Orleans and are not looking to gather comp set data. We just need some validation.

I’m an L&E associate entering my 5th year at a mid-sized regional law firm (approx. 400 attorneys). Barred in PA/NJ. Billed 2100 last year but my requirement is 1950. Should I try to lateral into BigLaw or should I try to go in house? Are either of those realistic options for me? I seem to be doing a significant amount of municipal law too, which is not what I expected or wanted at all. I want a life but would also hate to take a pay cut. Interested in L&E. Advice?

Anyone have with recent experience interviewing/hiring with FP? Most of what I found online is from pre-covid but it sounds like things might have changed a bit.

Disappointed and ashamed that this wasn’t a full rebuke of Trumpism but all the signs point towards a narrow win.

Imagine being the first agency to unionize. Imagine the press. For an industry that is so fueled by media attention, it would be a company's dream... wouldn't it?

My mental health has suffered tremendously over the past month. I have a therapist that I probably should see more of but I’m jobless and need to save. I am an aspiring entrepreneur with an inspiring business idea (to me lol) but my anxiety and depression is hindering me severely… fuck my brain. Any other founders here? It’s f‘ing tough.

I want to hear it all, let it out. Why did you hate HRC? Or you just felt she couldn’t be president because she was a woman?

I’m a recent graduate in a cyber analytics consulting role with a traditional business background, is Security+ a must have certification? Would you consider Network+ a critical prerequisite?

How to move into executive leadership? I’m a mid-40s former MBBer with, I think, an impressive and diverse resume. I think I’m suitable for an executive leadership role, but unsure about how to pursue one. Any suggestions? Career coach? Headhunters? Cold “calls”? Thanks!

What’s the best points system for people traveling in Canada? So far I only use Bonvoy and Aeroplan.

Does anyone ever redeem Marriott points for gift cards? Is it worth it?

Bonvoy-ers: anyone else get assigned a new ambassador today?

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?

On a credit file, do multiple credit cards from the same issue count as multiple accounts or is that issuer counted as a single account regardless of how many cards

Anyone have a Silvercar code?

WiFi didn't work in a 3 hour flight, no inflight entertainment sets as well, how many miles can I claim?

My Marriott ambassador is useless. I ask him to check with the hotel on trying to get certain rates etc and all he does is look in the system and tell me things aren’t available. (Cont.)

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?

Is SYW UBER integration dead?

Is there a good website or group or reddit page for travel flash sales / deals?

Will end up at 65 Marriott nights for 2018. What would you select for your annual choice benefit? 5 elite night credits or is that pointless?
