Going to London in 2 weeks! Unfortunately the news was heartbreaking about the Queen and it’s still being talked about of course.

Should I still go on with this trip or should I exchange for a different date because I don’t know what else could happen during this trip? Maybe I’m overreacting :/

Not career advice, but life advice:

You get what you pay for with cruises. If you want to be surrounded by white trash, go with Carnival.

Hi Sharks,

I have 2.5 years of experience after completing MBA and want to get into consulting. If someone can please give me referral in IBM, it would be incredibly helpful.

My PERM PWD was filed in early February and I’m still waiting. Almost all PWDs filed in the same month in my company have received determination, and all that are still in process are in the same department/team as me. I wonder what’s going on there.
What happens if a PWD takes more than 12 months to get approved? Would we have to file a new PWD since the 9141 wage survey is only valid for 12 months? (Feels like a PWD that takes >12 months to adjudicate would break the world record though).

Does anyone know a good trainer in nyc who works with folks with prior injuries (acl/shoulder issues) ?

PTSD It's not a joke, and I wouldn't wish it even on my worst enemy. Best resources / ways to handle this?

Any indoor basketball courts in downtown toronto I could go to for drop ins/21 etc. I used to play before but the pandemic took me out of routine and I'm looking to get back to the court during winter (hopefully somewhere indoors)

Are the days of crazy returns on cards over? Any MLB, NFL, or NBA potential star goes for crazy high prices. Sounds like before you could pick up Luca or Mahomes cards before they proved their value, now that potential upside seems to be baked into the price. For example, a Mahomes PSA 10 Silver Prizm went for ~$200 in 2018, now an ungraded Herbert Silver Prizm goes for $1,100

Moving to Charlotte with 3 year old near Palisades area. Please suggest good preschool. Is it too late for enrollment this year, waiting for house closing to provide local address to schools.

Being from Minnesota, I think it's so funny when people act as if we are some far-left State just because we hadn't voted Republican in a presidential election since Nixon. Never mind that many of our elections are close or that we have elected Republican Senators and governors.

I have voted for both the GOP and the DFL, and I feel like they are both far more normal than their national counterparts

Thanks in advance.

Found thread to gain status through match stream for all rental companies and 5 hotel chains

My CSR just renewed earlier this month. Last year my first $300 of travel expenses was deducted off my credit card (including Uber’s) but that does not appear to be happening even though I just renewed. What gives?

What are some good trips to do with Bonvoy points in the Northeast (thinking more spa/relaxing vs touring cities) e.g Berkshires, Vermont etc

Seems like I can never get good redemption rates with Bonvoy points and after a year haven’t been able to use much. Saw that you can sell 100k points on eBay for about $700 after fees...worth it?
