Can I ask SPG ambassador to help on my Marriott reservations?

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do?

Would you recommend Sedona during Christmas or San Diego during Christmas with a 1.5 year old? Entertainment, safety, meaningful experience-focused.

Sedona will be much colder, possibly snowing/icy and will be hiking, hot tub, enjoying the scenery focused. San Diego will be beach, enjoying scenery focused. Both Airbnb options look beautiful. Will also have 60 year old grandparents joining

I’m 6 month pregnant with a good amount of lower back pain that gets worse with standing and walking. Insanely, I’d like to take my 2 older kids to Disney before the new baby arrives. Has anyone been to Disney Land (CA) and Disney World (FL)? I’m curious if Disney Land being smaller would be less walking and possibly a better option.

Has anyone seen any decent MQD run ideas for Delta recently? I’m about 8k MQDs from diamond. Seems the Aeromexico method is on hold until they are fully back up and running. Thanks!

I‘m considering an add-on degree in the US on top of my MBA from a leading Euro school, in order to be able to work in the US. My employer wouldn’t sponsor me, so no internal transfer! STEM or no STEM...still up in the air. Crazy idea or not? What do you think?

Chatty class: how to get them quiet?? I’m tearing my hair out here and need help. I’m always having to be mean and yell. It’s getting old quick.

Is there a pace up on hirings now , or the freeze is still there , I cannot see much posts on recession since a week so is there any good news on hirings?

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????

I have family members who are inside claims reps for a large company. The company sends out emails 4 times/day showing who is currently not available for calls.

Sounds at least toxic.

A lot of companies going on hiring freezes, strap up kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

I have about $60k in savings, how should I invest?

My manager basically gave me an unlimited budget to get whatever certifications I want. My career profile is similar to a Solution Architect- what should I get?

I am hoping to pivot to Product Management or Data Science.
