Is 160,000 points for Ritz Carlton Residences on Wakiki beach too much? Moana surf rider also has the same redemption cost in points. Ritz is $540 per night in March. How good is the property?

This is a good price. The Ritz is the nicest Marriott in Waikiki. The 2nd option would be Waikiki Beach Marriott as it has been completely renovated, then Moana Surf would be 3rd.

Thank you!

Per night?

Sorry this is for 3 nights!

Oh then it's a great deal!

I just spent 1 night there a few weeks ago - awesome and modern rooms. The pool decks were totally chill with an awesome sunset view. Marriott Ambassadors get a free half day pass for a pool cabana. I would say worth it.

Yes great redemption—the trick when you’re trying to figure out whether somethings good or not is to calculate the cents per point you’re getting from the redemption (dollar value of stay incl taxes/total points).

With Marriott the general consensus is usually around .8 cents per point or more is a great redemption, and to never use them for anything below .5 cents per point. In your case you’re >1cent per point so you’re doing pretty good.

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
