My new company has such stringent travel booking requirements. I have to take the absolute cheapest flight even if a faster, more convenient option is $5 more. It’s the same way with hotels. My leadership doesn’t mind if I spend more but our booking system is so restrictive. Have you found workarounds to book more reasonable travel accommodations?

Does anyone have any good books or podcasts about how to develop leadership/ managing skills?

Anyone taking advantage of the flight deals from corona virus for summer?

Need to recommend a hotel to my family who's visiting from the USA in a couple of weeks. They like to stay in local boutique type places and BnBs, not chains. Any suggestions?

My firm has applied for my L1A visa. If that gets denied, my plan is to travel to Canada and re enter US immediately on B1/B2 visa (already have valid B1/B2 stamp) so that I'll get time to figure out things here in the US (sell my stuff, handle my bank accts etc). Is it possible for me to reenter US on tourist visa?

Anyone in HNW 1040/trust/family office at Marcum? What’s culture like? Pros/cons?

Fellow P&T Directors - here’s a thread for us to discuss what we are hearing/not hearing with regards to PCLDE and the making of new partners in P&T.

On every call, we hear Joe talk about making new Partners and his commitment. I have yet to see any of those ‘commitments’ be reflected in actions or explanations. (eg. No senior directors from commercial GTM going into PCLDE this year …) What?

Do they really think we’re going to ‘stick around’ until they ‘figure it out’ …

Anyone take the job for the travel benefits and then had no travel projects.... can't figure out if I should be annoyed or if it's a blessing in disguise

How bad does it look on me if I accept an offer knowing I’m going to quit in 6 months for grad school?

Can you use robin hood as a consultant in the big 4?

Why the resource team is wrongly mapping to higher level management role project proposals. Like 4 yr experienced people are being proposed for 10 year experience requirement.
Does anyone else faced this? LTI

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.

After I set a print area, how do I showcase the page 1 - page x in the excel sheet and have the background be grey?

Hi Fishes I am looking for Scrum Master job

I ve been in Houston for like 8 months now. I am introverted, and I live by myself. I literally have no friends here outside of the folks I talk to at work.
I need help.

Not enough people understand mountain driving etiquette - if you see a conga line of cars behind you it’s because you’re slow and you should pull over at the next available turnout and let them pass.

Got hit with RFE during premium processing for H1-B extension, 12th year H1-B. I was asked to provide additional details for my daily job tasks.

What are the chances it will get approved?

Is there a market to sell Cuban cigars on the side?

Anyone found an affordable adjustable standing desk they like? I have an iMac and a laptop is like to be able to fit on it.

I have obtained a terrible habit of working from my bed.

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

Just curious- what city do most of us live in? I always wonder what city / area has the most consultants. I’m in Orange County, CA.

For the people who went back to school to pursue a totally different career, what did you do for work? I don’t think I’d be able to do both my current job and school. I did retail in college and that probably isn’t so smart right now. Neither is working at a restaurant. I don’t think I can go back and live with my parents. I feel like I’m stuck.

What do you all normally do in your downtime at work? I used to be in a high stress, high tempo office but moved to a better paying role with much less responsibility. I’m still adjusting to have all this free time on my hands and need something to keep me busy throughout the day.

Be careful of a growing subculture of politics with the new leadership team in place. This is a place where it is more important to get along than to get things done.

What value do TPMs provide? In my company all they seem to do is tell other people to work on things they’re already working on, and incessantly nag people on slack for status updates and timelines which you’ve already provided.

Most exotic name you’ve heard: drop below!

I’ve gained about 10 lbs these last 5 weeks and now my punishment will be losing 20 lbs in 3 weeks

Has anyone’s credit score dropped dramatically? Mine dropped almost 20 points in one month and the reason says because the age of my accounts are low but I haven’t opened any new ones? wondering if it’s covid related somehow?

Looking for nonfiction book recommendations relating to international history/diplomacy/American foreign policy!

One silver lining in all this is, in my case is being able to watch my daughter grow while wfh. It's amazing how in the first year of life so much happens that I for sure would of missed out.

Thoughts on Covid-safe ways to celebrate a birthday in the winter? In the summer, a few friends did small, distanced outdoor picnics but it’s gonna be around 40 degrees on my bday

Obviously hard to predict but how do people think the M&A market will look when restrictions begin to lift and we go back to something closer to our previous “normal”? Increased or decreased activity?
