Disagree. K1 I am Hilton and everyone I’m with is Starwoodmarriot. I’m more productive and less inclined to hang at the bar. And I get real upgrades

I don’t think it’s a good idea for OP to book a hotel away from his/her team especially as a new associate. Just my two cents. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve always like Marriott and have been platinum for 6 years. As for airline, your airport will really dictate that. I started in phx so used US Airways because the went to the most locations and then inherited AA in the merger. Live in Chicago and probably should have switched to United but AA is big here too so have kept them still. Personally like United for options to Europe

Delta & SPG/Marriott, base location dependent of course

Everyone I know is pretty loyal to SPG but I’ve found that any status in Hilton actually gets you upgrades whereas I have Gold with SPG and I rarely get upgraded because so many business travelers also use SPG

As far as hotels, you should stay where your team stays. If they are Hilton, then you are Hilton. If they are Marriott, then you are Marriott

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.

How soon is too soon to quit a job? I took what seemed like a great offer, with competitive pay, a hybrid schedule, and 15% travel. However, I’m about 1.5 months in and the job is miserable. I’m working 50 hour weeks with no breaks to keep up with the demand, there is minimal training or support, I can’t work hybrid yet, I get 24/7 phone calls, and they’ve asked me to travel once a month for the remainder of the year. At this point, I’m only staying for fear of how it will look on my resume.
