Azor Hotel, Portugal; 28,000 SPG points for 5 days

@P1 where in Portugal is this?

W in Vieques was great. Stayed on points and used the suite upgrade to get an 1,100sqft (?) room. Totally worth it.

Four Points near Purdue. Was 4000 SPG points but was going for $400/night due to an event that I was attending . So on pure value basis it is $0.10/ point.

@A1, Azor Hotel is actually in the Azores Island chain (belongs to Portugal, but is about halfway between Europe and North America)... Portugal in general had relatively “cheap” hotel redemption rates, but this one was pretty great considering it’s one of the nicest on Sao Miguel and generally runs $250+ a night

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!

Hi Recruiters,
Let’s talk cover letters.
What do you think makes a good one? Length? Content? What should definitely be in there and definitely be left out?
What’s the biggest mistake you see people make?
Who is actually reading them? You? The department heads?
Bonus points if you can give insight into the way this works with the Creative Department. (I’m a Copywriter.)

Thanks in advance!
