It is WILD that we had a whole separate bowl for this.

Having serious Monday blues! Who wants to talk and help? 35M in Chicago

Anyone listening to the podcast “Dr. Death”? Both fascinating and horrifying...

Hi fishes,
My friend have cleared Tata Elxsi interview 5 months back and received her offer letter. Still now she haven’t recvd a joining letter. Couple of other friends are also facing similar issue.
Does anyone have any update on this?
Tried mailing to the HR and to their help desk. No response.
Its really disappointing. Even if they are not able to onboard candidates now, the least they can do is aknowledge and respond to the queries.
Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.

Looking for recommendations in the VA or DMV area for small biz:
1. Attorney 2. SBA banker 3.Accountant

See the George Floyd trial verdict will be announced in the next hour.

How are you counseling clients around this? Or, are you not counseling clients on this?

Curious to hear from the bowl.

Is a cover letter necessary?

To NYC members: Anyone here planning on sitting for FAR in December or January and would like to join a weekly (or biweekly) study group on the UES?

@admin
please change the bowl name to 'Getlikesbowl'

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Im a bit burned out now and I would love to take a long break. I'm hoping I can take a break (2 months) between the transition but is this a good reason to move though? Would you move in my situation? Im sure there will be a signing bonus.

Heyy people,

Couldn't attend this interview at PwC due to last minute technical difficulties. I requested HR to reschedule it. She said it's not possible this week and she'll try her best for the next week. I am really tensed, I don't want to throw away this opportunity. I was really looking forward for the interview. Would they really reschedule my interview?

A partner I work for keeps asking for ETA's on assignments I have already submitted to the senior associate on the deal for review. Does it sound like I'm throwing the senior associate under the bus if I say I have already submitted to senior associate and am waiting for feedback? I feel like the partner will get upset at me even more if my answer sounds like I haven't submitted the assignment to the senior associate yet.

Does business Process Internal Audit or IT Internal Audit make more?

Any recommendation for a extra firm good quality mattress under $1k?

For folks who’ve done R1/R2 interviews at BCG… how useful did you find the CaseCoach courses? I’m a week out before my R1 and I’m wondering if it’s going to be time we’ll-spent. Would love to hear “ignore this, definitely do that” sorts of advice if possible. (For background: I’m familiar with Victor Cheng, I’m using RocketBlocks, practicing live cases, consumed a bunch of YouTube videos, etc.)

Can someone please explain the process of selling a home when you have an Islamic loan? Since it’s profit sharing i don’t fully own the home right? So if i sell it i can’t take full profits since i don’t own it outright. I’m considering Islamic financing but have so many questions about it. Can you take an equity line? Can you write off mortgage interest?

How did you get into real estate?

The new SPG app is not intuitive at all, very hard to navigate i find.

Anyone still missing nights/stays?

my nights finally all came in! Activity history is now messed up again though 🤔

How do I request suite upgrades on the new app? I have 10 that will expire this year and can’t seem to find a way to apply them on a reservation. Thanks for the help!

Do y'all think they've just given up at this point. Chalk it up to a loss?

If anyone sees their missing nights appear, please post here so the rest of us know to start checking for them to appear. TIA.

Can you still earn status under the old world requirements if you have not combined? Trying to see if I can score an extra year of plat before I combine but idk if stays will count now, merged or not.

For those who became platinum premier elite + ambassador with the merge, have you received your ambassador already? How long does it take?

Who’s still missing nights? 🙋🏻‍♂️

How is your Ambassador service? I reached it with the merge but really bad so far. Not reactive, I have to wait days and send multiple emails to get an answer, doesn’t do what she says she would do...

I thought my nights and points would merge. How do I make that happen?

Arrived at a SPG property last week and had email confirmation and booking in the app but hotel didn’t have it - manager blamed merger IT issues, anybody else experienced this recently?

FYI If your name doesn’t match exactly you can’t combine.

And when I called SPG they said the account maintenance wasn’t ready so to call back

I am currently showing 800 days and 9 years elite. Anyone know if this year is included in that if I have 50 nights? Right on the border for lifetime platinum premier elite and I want it!!!

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Anyone else not getting points / nights for recent Marriott stays? Account activity isn’t working in the app

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

Will status for current year still be valid till February of next year in the new combined program?
