Looking to open a Marriott credit card to get the 15 elite nights to renew status. Currently deciding between the Bold ($0 annual, 75k pts welcome bonus) and the Boundless ($95 annual, 100k pts welcome, annual free night). Likely won’t put any material spend on the card beyond first 3 months. Which should I choose?

Very straightforward:
1. Would you buy 25k points for $95 (not a terrible deal if you stay at Marriotts
2. Long term, do you stay at Marriotts around the 35k point level and pay more than $95 a night

If you think you will use the free night, Boundless is a no brainer. $95 for $35k points towards a room is good value. Rooms I use them for are always $150+ and no taxes.

The free night comes in handy and the rooms/hotels I’ve used it on have been more expensive than $95

Thanks all!

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.
