Any recommendations on St Regis vs Ritz Carlton Istanbul?

Sheraton Atlanta Perimeter North - worth it for a confirmed suite as opposed to the nearby Westin? Usually a westin loyalist.

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?

Anyone ever stayed at Westin Tokyo? Is the concierge lounge any good?

My RB situation is ugly. Recommendations on who I should start?

Need 2; 0.5 ppr

I can also add Salvon Ahmed (vs NE), Sony Michel (@ MIA), Gus Edwards (vs JAX), Tony Pollard (vs SF), Latavius Murray (vs KC), James White (@ MIA), DeAndre Washington (vs NE), or Giovani Bernard (vs PIT).

My WR/flex is Ridley, Woods, Hilton, Amari Cooper

Is there a thread of company discount codes? ISO Hilton code (do not judge me my BIL is getting married at a Hilton and his fiancé is going to go postal if we don’t reserve a room now)

Have 3 Bonvoy free night certificates (35k/night), thinking of using them to go somewhere but legit have no idea where to go.

Any recs for decent but “affordable” Bonvoy hotels in cool places ?

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?

Good resources to find industry metrics? Interested to see how carriers rank up by product type in direct written premium, new business, combined ratios, etc.

So, got a bunch of questions from a recruiter, first contact. I guess this my first phone/email screen? Do I need to bother with STAR answers or not?

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

Question about H1B - if you haven't heard back with a positive result yet, does it mean your application was rejected for the year? It sucks as to how minimal transparency there is to this process.

Can someone suggest a good head hunter service that can help me through job switching process from resume building to securing interviews? I am new in US so don’t have a lot of contacts for referral.

Now that United's market cap has dropped 600M, maybe we can all agree that regardless of who was at fault, United should have handled the situation far differently.

Suggest a congratulations gift ($150)for SO for a professional achievement. F/28, scientist.

I'm trying to buy a bigger than normal whiteboard for my home office: any recommendations?

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
