Looking for some personal advice. I have earned enough points to qualify for an upgrade on my flight next month. But I don't have enough for my wife to get an upgrade, she never really travels and doesn't use the CC, so she didn't earn any points. Would it be okay if I took my upgrade and left my wife in economy? She will probably sleep most of the flight anyway.

Currently working two gigs. Both part time. Might need to travel for one for a shoot for one of them. Should I try and keep this on the DL from the other gig or no worries since I’m only 50% and they have to understand I need to supplement with other work?

solo travel recommendations please - european countries

Hi Fishes,

My wife is getting transferred to California and she is offered 143k.

How much she can get after tax deduction and all? How much she can save after all the expenses?

She is insisting that I travel with her and get the job in the US. I'm a software developer having 4.1 YOE. How much can I get in the US? Is it worth traveling with her?

Any information would be helpful, Thanks in advance...

Trying to get a pulse on what rates people have gotten recently I.e. in the last 90 days for a 30 year fixed. Please indicate if you purchased pointed or not?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Looking to book one night at a Marriott property in chicago to celebrate anniversary with my wife - mostly deciding between the Gwen and the Ritz. Which would you choose? (Assume price doesn’t matter)

Going on my first international trip for work. Damn. These are where the points are really at... 30k EQM and ~66 k of miles.... not to mention hotel and Amex points. Getting to see awesome new places and work in challenging problems - I want more of these trips!!!

My job recently got downgraded from full time to part time back in September. I’ve been casually applying to roles that genuinely interest me, but I get rejection after rejection with no interview. A friend told me about a hotel front desk job that pays $19/hour but I was in a supervisory role that made $23-25/hour. How desperate should I be?

For greater context, I have an MBA and am completing a cert in product management next week.I have an operations/hr/customer service background.

Has anyone traveled on Fly Norse? I am wondering if they're a good airline to fly on?

Thoughts?
