L.E.K. Consulting reached out for a lateral manager role. Tagline: Role that focuses on growth strategy projects as opposed to due diligence, so better WLB. Ok this sounds interesting, but i currently work for a similar T2 strategy shop, similar work. My questions are, what is this deal (truly better WLB?) and what is the typical pay for M/SM?

Save your $250
Ambassador here. I love having status.
That said. I’d probably save the 250.
Marriott status is worthless
Rising Star
I mean I enjoy always checking out late and constantly getting upgraded…lifetime platinum though. Not sure about gold.
Alternatively - book the Hilton for NYE and also book a cheap (<$100) Marriott property sometime between now and December 31. Don’t have to stay at the property, just check in and let the staff know your intentions.
Status is only worth it if you plan significant travel to Marriott properties in the upcoming year. If not, skip the status chase.
But, Gold?!
Getting gold this year makes it easier to get platinum next year... always go for status
How?
Keep your 250. Platinum would definitely be worth it, but not gold.

Gold ain’t worth it.
Alternatively, book Hilton. Reach high status. Status match to marriot for when you want it. Profit

Gold doesn't do anything, Platinum is the minimum useful tier as it gives you lounge access and decent upgrades.
Agree
Platinum is when the benefit starts to be worth it. Gold is meh
