Would a post-grad entry level temp to perm guideline monitoring analyst position at Wellington Mgmt open doors down the road for more active investment roles/front-office roles? Is it the right path for an ambitious individual who might have a tough time staying engaged in a regulatory-heavy practice area? Im legal minded, just don’t want to be doing compliance and am unsure if it can just be a stepping stone.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
