Is it possible to pay for (personal) Amex charges using Membership Reward points?

If you didn't have to pay off any more of your student loans what would you use the money for instead? I'm stuck between something impractical like a trip somewhere or something I need like a new car lol

Hi Fishes, How long does it take to finish the BGV at Amex? Do they call or email for any information? My DOJ is next week and has heard nothing from them yet.

Please suggest what to do.

What is the process involved in Onboarding? Have not received a laptop either.

Is this the end of days for our love affair with cryptocurrencies?

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

Partner is pissed at me & judging everything because we disagreed on a deliverable. I was at fault at not giving what was needed even though we disagreed. I respect them, how to fix the relationship?

I've been trying to get my foot in the door with TikTok by creating a series of content that has never been seen before.

But it's hard for me to get views because I don't know how to use SEO or social media marketing effectively.

I feel stuck as a Strategy Manager and want to make a career pivot at 35. But have no idea what i should do? Any suggestions, resources or books that I should read to help with my existential mid thirties crisis? I have experience in technology consulting, corporate strategy, freelance consulting and law. Do I go back to being an Attorney, or do I retrain and become a financial advisor or something else?

Is there an email I can use to contact delta?

I do believe EY is d kindest when it comes to putting people first.Thank U Kelly.Resume travel based on CDC & facts, no layoffs in foreseeable future, extending trust when wfh& personal accountability

How do I handle this situation. Been told there’s no I in team but find myself doing all the work, especially over the weekend, and Everyone else just gets to talk about. Literally no one else has brought a deliverable to our meetings. If it fails, I most likely take all the blame. If it works, other people get to o share the credit.

SM’s - how easy or hard was it to exit into industry at Sr director or VP roles. Did you see a big jump in your Salary + Perks?

Taking PTO until I get paid for a referral bonus (currently am on the bench). I'll be out of pto, so the Friday I get paid I will leave without any notice. Is this bad? (Continued)

Thoughts on Protiviti consulting? Not sure if its worth pursuing, mainly because I’ve not been exposed to their work

Anyone else heard of layoffs at Accenture Digital in January?

Book recommendations for a vacation?

Weird American thing. Friends usually love to have us over but not over Thanksgiving b/c they are nervous around their family. So weird.

How do you manage burnout? Any tips on saving some energy?

I’m so bored during this pandemic, I’m starting to consider having kids at some point.
