My Delta traveling SMEs: As a United premier 1K I’m pissed at the lack of perks . 1) I can’t combine miles and plus points. 2) NYC to LAX nonstop flights don’t have complimentary upgrades and 3) Tickets using miles do not have complimentary upgrades unless you have the $525 annual fee credit card … I’m frkn pissed. Is delta diamond any better?

I have some 400k delta skypesos and would like to go to asia next year. How should i use it well?

What is the attraction for AmEx Platinum over CSR? AmEx gives 5x points for flights, but no travel delay insurance (which is big when stranded), or food/other travel points. CSR gives 3x on so much...

Best resort in Bahamas? High pref for all inclusive

This is for Amex folks.
How good is Program management role as compared to Product owner role? I have an opportunity to pick either of the two. Your thoughts?

Any product counsel for AI-related companies here?

Aside from LinkedIn, what are other sources to identify decision makers in large companies?

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but thoughts on IBM right now? Got a call today from a recruiter for SAP OCM position (managing consultant ). Said they’re hiring a bunch but then I see layoffs. Huh?

Question for Goggins & Jocko Fans: How do you use their messaging to get you motivated on work related activities - such as delivering quality work, finishing that slide deck or prepping for an interview? It appears that they are more geared towards motivating the couch potato in to exercising.

I wonder how Jocko would handle consulting life :)

Most overrated top 16 business school....

Are there any books or classes about convincing people that have irrational arguments? Trying to figure out how to frame conversations that lead to my conclusions that aren't based in logic and fact.

Trying to think through whether it’s worth it to refinance my non-federal student loans. Currently at 4.13% interest fixed and paying $1.2k/month with just over 2 years of payments left. Thinking I’d still pay around that much per month if not more but at least save on interest. Any thoughts for or against?

I travel M-Th, and do Alt travel every month once. I also travel Sunday night. I am starting to see diminishing returns of even having a house. Pay rent for whole month just for 9 nights. Thoughts?

Has anyone switched to a standing desk? Do you feel more productive? Was it worth it? Did you switch at the office or at your home?

Do you prefer the grocery store wine section to be organized by varietal or country? Vote for country here

Stupid question: do you get to alt-travel? Not fly home to your home office on the weekends, but use that budget to fly somewhere else?
