Never seem to run into fellow consultants at the Westin Grand Central bar, figured there’d be more for such a lively spot

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

Successfully made the jump.

Planning on opening a Bonvoy boundless chase cc for the 75,000 points and have heard the first year is free. Is that right? If it is, do I still get the 75k? Are the 75k Chase points or Bonvoy points?

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

With Michael Thomas out, who would you replace him with in a PPR league today, TY Hilton or Emmanuel Sanders?

Like Sanders but worried about Brees after 4 weeks off.

Traveling to DC for 4 days. Looking for Marriott with parking and maybe concierge lounge functioning. Anyone use a Marriott recently they can recommend?
Open to other suggestions too. Thanks

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Anyone else not getting points / nights for recent Marriott stays? Account activity isn’t working in the app

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

Qn about SPG platinum breakfast amenity - is it valid only once during the stay or for each day? I'm told I can use it only once during the stay 🤷🏻‍♂️

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Has anyone used the annual elite gift to buy a mattress through Marriott? If I buy it on my Boundless card will I get 6x points?

With the new merger, can I use my spg suite night awards at Marriott properties?

The new SPG app is not intuitive at all, very hard to navigate i find.

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

What is everyone’s thoughts about Hilton? Just got asked to interview

I’m getting a crazy good deal on the Ritz (~250 per night) in Miami - but it uses a Corp code for a company I don’t work for. Worth the risk?

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

Best credit card for travel?!? And, why? Never really used airport lounges.

I have the Marriott Bonvoy, SW rewards and CSP.

When negotiating a new job, how do you approach the signing bonus conversation and the relocation expenses conversation?

Context: consultant (almost SC) looking to relocate from Toronto to London, UK.

I’m struggling with an issue with a student right now. I teach in a suburban school outside of NYC that has a very large majority of white students. One of my Black students was recently involved in a biased incident with another student in which he received racist social media messages and racist spoken words from the other student. This was a kid that my Black student thought was his friend. He’s heartbroken, and so am I. I want to know how I can best support my student.

Need some advice. During May of 2021 an operations manager and an hourly Hr employee started a relationship while the ops manager was married. We had supervisors give us pictures of those two kissing at workFast forward they are now engaged and getting married. The HR worker does not work here anymore since July 2021. Is it too late to investigate the ops manager for misconduct ? The ops manager has worked here for 15 years and is super valuable, the operation literally can not run without him.

Can anyone provide some insight on what comp is for entry level in audit? TIA

Ugh I just signed to fix my house’s mortgage interest rate at 2,73% for 2years. Instantly regret it.

What is the worst reaction you’ve had after giving your notice? I just gave notice and I have never had a boss that tried as hard to make me change my mind as this one. Offered me basically anything I wanted.

Does Tavisca match up the counter offer if we ask the HR?

For 🐠🐟 that live in the Circle C area, is there really a difference between Circle C proper vs. the surrounding neighborhoods (e.g. Circle C North)? Or are we basically just paying a premium for the name?

(We're waiting for prices to come down like a lot of people here, and the hubs is very focused on being within Circle C proper 😮‍💨.)

Fishes, can someone please let me know that is there shift allowance paid to Jpmc employees? I got shortlisted for ccb lob and my shift timings are 12 pm to 9pm ist. Thanks in advance.

Is it advisable to hand in your notice prior to background checks being completed? If not surely when they approach my current employer they’ll know, or are they discreet?

Suggestions on how to improve at work? I feel like everyone knows more than me and feeling like I’ve been left behind. Where did all of this knowledge come from??

Hello everyone.
Hope you're all doing good.

So far there has been an online assessment, round 1of interview with assistant manager, round 2 of interview with the Manager.

Are there gonna be more rounds of interview..? If not, what is expected timeline they take to make the final decision..?

Thanks in advance.

Communication etiquette: LinkedIn vs email vs text, what is your preferred method to send and receive communication from past co-workers? Why?

Anything for sale anywhere in the continental US let me know.

Hi fishes, need 11 likes for DM TIA

How will the US come out of covid19? As an outsider they seem at greater risk then others: expensive healthcare, no sick days, homeless people, people who wont stay home... Thoughts?

Leaving EY for another job, I’m not comfortable sharing with who but HR keeps asking and says that I will have to let the independent team know who I will be working with? Is the this even true?

I’m so depressed, have been for years, and don’t see it getting better. I’ve tried everything from therapy, exercise, psychiatry, journaling, self help books, healthy diet, etc. what else is there?

Best books on business/ negotiation/ leadership you have ever read (and use practically)!?

Do consultants get fired from a client for moving furniture around? (like a stand alone monitor) from an unused room he was given to sit, supposedly reserved for auditors. Asking for a friend 🙃

Thoughts/reviews on Indian Matchmaking?

BCG folks - any other benefits besides the major ones that I should be aware about (e.g. gym membership reimbursement, mobile reimbursement etc). I’m joining at the end of March. Thanks!

Hot take. Is FAANG even a thing? Or was Cramer just worried about the acronym if he took out Netflix?

Finished work before 10 PM today. Early day!

Best consulting firms for work-life balance? I know consulting is chaotic in nature, but just curious to see which ones are the best in dealing with this?

How can I help people in an impactful way during this corona crisis? My bonus hit and I found out I’m getting another raise amid all of this and I want to help people who are struggling. TIA!

Project is starting on July 30, just found out the client requires background tests and drug screens, do they usually make you take it immediately or is there some time?

Which do you choose: EY TAS - OTS or Deloitte S&O - M&A?

Is there a hard limit on how frequent you can apply in a year at FAANG? (For instance: Amazon, Google)

Also, how many positions are we allowed to apply?
There are just many positions at different teams right.

Why does it seem most people always want to switch to something else, e.g another group, another client, another company? Is anyone satisfied with the status quo?

For those that have been laid off, how’s the job search going? Have you gotten offers fairly quickly (I.e. 2-4 weeks after getting the notice)?

I want to roll of my project. I have 6 weeks left. The scope of work is I’m doing is not in line with what I’m supposed to be doing... the client is now doing their work and responsibilities on me

Been seeing a lot of jobs being posted by OYO. Anyone have insights on their culture, benefits etc.?

Currently in industry at 135k salary, poor healthcare, amazing wlb, a month of parental leave, work is okay.

Considering data science roles at :
return to Deloitte aim for SC in GPS
trying out EY GPS aim for SC
Gov job range is 100-120k and would need to negotiate up pto otherwise I’d for sure decline

-any perspectives appreciated

Any Freemasons lurking around here!? Thinking about making a Bowl for my Traveling Brothers. Maybe to talk about how we view this unique Labor (consulting) in a Masonic context, post some inspirational messages, recommend good books, idk stuff like that...
