Anyone find a travel-size sunrise alarm clock? Ive fallen in love with mine during covid, but the thing is way too big for weekly travel!

Dose anyone travel with nuwest group, they have a few positions I’m looking at.

Does anyone have recommendations for a location to rent a large house abroad? Think MTV cribs style. This is for a 40th birthday and so we wanted destination home, in house chef maybe a night or two, and with things to do in the area. (Beach, Winery, cultural, etc.)

Caveat: champagne taste, craft beer budget. So not looking for a mansion in a HCOL area.

Ideal: direct flight <5 hours from DC airports

Thank you!

I am moving from nursing leadership to clinical nurse consulting as a independent contracor. I am wondering if there are any other RNs who work as independent contractors and what kind of liability insurance you carry. Professional, business? Also wondering what kind hourly rate you see on average and is there a different rate for travel. Thanks!

I have 10k in credit card debt due to previous unexpected medical expenses outside of my emergency savings before I started working here straight from college. I currently have 9k in an emergency savings fund, & 8k in a HYSA left. What would be your approach to tackling this debt. Further context: I’m currently living back home with my parents to help ease my financial burden, paid off all my student loans, & my retirement Roth IRA & 401 is progress is undisturbed. TIA

Typically how much do you travel at McKinsey?

can you fly to cancun rn? friend said he was going to take a vacation there next week but thought they were closed to non essential travel. google returns varied results. but i assume he isn't lol

Platinum SPG matched to Exec Platinum Marriott. Better to keep booking SPG in 2017 for easier status renewal / better hotels or switch to Marriott?

I’m looking for a place to stay for the next month between my lease expiring and leaving the city. I’d like to be downtown to make the most of my final month here, as well as be close to friends. I’m wondering whether to go the Airbnb route, or pay for the convenience of a hotel. For reference, It’s roughly 3k to stay at a residence inn for a month, whereas the cheapest studio on airbnb is about 2800. Appreciate any advice!

Manager and senior manager at training, other staff left client site already. Wrong of me to leave client site an hour earlier to get on an earlier flight?

I kind of wanna leave advertising and just do something like law school and start all over with a 180 on my career. Idk I feel like I’m not adding anything useful to the world

Would appreciate thoughts on secondments (for junior-mid level associates), pros/cons, timing, and identifying client options where no formal pipeline. Most of all: worth it? Thanks!

Hey.. anyone who joined HCL recently. Are they giving any Kit for new joiners ? by when I can expect laptop to be reached at home after raising the request ?

HIPPIES— I used to go to an acupuncturist who sold sheets of pressed chamomile (like a thick sheet of paper) that you could cut and put in hot water to have potent blooming chamomile tea. Does anyone know how to find these sheets? I can’t even find a picture of it online. Namaste! 🙏 😉

HOW do I stop caring so much about this job? I’ve been handed a non-billable project to manage and complete on an absolutely impossible timeline. I can’t stop thinking about how disappointed everyone will be when I can’t deliver and satisfy their ridiculous expectations. Maybe I’m having a bad day, but this is the closest I’ve been to quitting on the spot.

This is a problem I think most orgs are facing so I’m curious what others are doing. Our entire workforce needs to increase analysis and critical thinking skills. They aren’t great with consuming curated content, even when delivered in micro learning. What are you/your orgs doing to develop these skills?

I live in Chicago. Anyone want to broker a relationship for me with their Rolex AD? Im trying to get a Rolex OP for my 30th birthday and work milestone celebration. TIA!

I am a middle school social studies teacher and my husband is a high school art teacher. He has been an art teacher for a very long time and he’s not super proficient with Google classroom but I am. I have been helping him with lesson online resources & creating hyper docs for the lessons. He is struggling with the students not having a lot of supplies at home and how to have them create multiple day art pieces.  he teaches at a low income area, how is everyone handling supplies to students? 

Anyone renegotiate their base when interviewing? If so, but what percentage did you gain? How did you frame the conversation?

Can we awail all the leaves in notice period

I wish people would not twirl their pens while in a meeting. It doesn't make you look! It's simply distracting.

So while you're using Marcel's AI lead on every possible project, don't forget to submit manually your expense reports. What a time to be alive!

Sooo, whyyy do I need to gets likes before i can dm anyone??!! 😫😫😫 Am i the only one who doesn't get it?😮‍💨😅 (aka please like this so i can find a job 😑🤣)

Got AA Platinum through firm tie up, and doing BCG United Challenge. Possible just taking the status match on United using AA?

I upgraded credit card to get points offer. Got the points from offer but new annual fee hasn’t hit yet. Can I downgrade/cancel and keep the points I got from offer?

Anyone here has experience with switching Qatar miles to American miles after the flight? Also All Nippon miles to United miles.

Anyone have issues with Marriott point history not viewable via the website or the app? I haven’t been able to view my history since September before I combined accounts, and support is useless.

Just had one (if not the most) ridiculous customer service intersections of my life. In 4 years of traveling I have never complained once—how does one even ask for points?

So my flight got canceled and I called AA only got half of what I paid back........

Just realized TGP app was retired, does anyone have insights on the relaunch ?

Best cards in Canada for points?

I’ll be starting work in April in Chicago traveling 80-100% of the time—Im wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the best credit card to get in order to maximize rewards/points

Those who have the Amex Plat and/or the CSR, would ultimate combo be being an authorized user on the platinum for the lounge/hotel status perks and a full user/purchaser on the CSR for points value?

Planning to go to Cancun, does car rental make sense for going around? Also do I need pesos or Usd is acceptable everywhere, I am thinking local vendors, street food etc.

Any ways to extend the expiration of PlusPoints?

I have about 35 of the 500 mile upgrades on American and will lose my Gold status on feb 1. Will I lose these upgrades also? Yes I know Gold is the bottom of Tatum pole.

How often do you get upgraded with AA platinum pro? No chance essentially on popular business routes/times?

I have a $6,500 expense coming up in April and would like to earn cash back or points with a new card’s SUB. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know how soon one has lounge access after being approved for a travel card? I decided to go with the Venture X card, but wasn’t sure if I needed to have the physical card or if I needed to meet the $4,000 spending in the first 3 months criteria to be eligible for access.
I had an emergency come up and need to travel overseas in the next week or two. I will have several layovers, so having lounge access would be a life saver. TIA!

Best spg/marriott hotels in Boston for a vacation with parents?

Hi newby here. I am international and only been in the US for a couple years so I wanted to ask a few questions about the chase saphire. What is the best way to apply for it to get the best deal? Any additional benefits beyond the 100k points? Is it ok to apply without an account in chase? How long does it takes to receive? What is the limit of the card? I am planning to buy something that is like 4,200 so I want to ask for the card but want to make sure I will be able to pay that much at once

Chase sapphire preferred, chase united miles or capital one venture card ? 😀
