Eh, worth the much better rewards. I'm SPG for the free weekends in Hawaii and living like a king in Thailand, not for the suite upgrade at the Sheraton in downtown Philly

Free drink tickets is a huge plus there too

Spent a good nine months there. There were multiple occasions where the entire hotel was filled with platinum status guests. Place is nuts

That's why not being SPG pays at times. SPG is consultant's favorite program and in big cities people end up in same hotel.

Everyone has opportunity to pick their juice. You might like living like King for couple of days versus treated nice for many days.

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
