NY 🐠: Sheraton in Midtown or W in downtown?

Hey friends! My mom has traveled very little of the world and when she does, it’s to the Middle East for Ziyarat. But I ran into a group of middle aged Muslim women on a big travel tour abroad cont

AMA: International Travel (US to Europe) During Coronavirus! I found very little info on this topic before my trip and had a bunch of questions which I wish someone could have helped with. Now, a friend and I both traveled US to Europe in the last week, different routes, in Econ/Biz. For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

Any star alliance status match delta platinum?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

I will be traveling with my 15 lb dog. He is a smidge too big to be under seat. Anyone know the requirements for bringing a pet onboard? Does he need to be a certified support animal? What about as checked luggage. Is it as stressful as I’ve heard? This is for LA to a small airport in Europe so there will be at least one unavoidable connection

How to find time to fly? I have gotten so busy, just picked up two more projects and realized it’s been 50 days. On the schedule for tomorrow, but geez 😒

What is better hertz or Avis loyalty program? I have been on hertz (president circle status due to united status) and collected points a few free rental days now. But hertz always seems so much more expensive to me for personal trips and I end up buying Avis. Should I just shift to Avis? United has also ended its partnership with Hertz now, hence wondering.

Is it worth it to save up to fly business or first class internationally [even just US to EU] - or save the money for other things?

WiFi didn't work in a 3 hour flight, no inflight entertainment sets as well, how many miles can I claim?

How can we redeem American Airlines miles on Qatar?

W south beach or Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale?

Anyone here travel solo to Ibiza? Would love to get recs on where to stay, which clubs and raves to go to, safety and such. TIA!

Get me the fuck home Delta. Next week Remote then firm shutdown, peace ✌️

Does American Airlines have any status partnerships with hotels or rental cars, etc? (Eg. Platinum Marriott will get you united silver)

I am stranded in a foreign country, was traveling for personal reasons, because AA cancelled my flight citing weather concerns but is flying other flights at the same time. Is there a way for me to 1. Get an alternate flight that is not painful. 2. Escalate and get compensation? Thank you.

For the Spg 50 night bonus award, is the 10 suite nights or the one free night award better?

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

She has experience in the following roles:

- Concierge

She really smart and hardworking, I would love to help her find a career - not just a job - that she enjoys. Thanks I’m advance!

I'm looking to get into production accounting, specifically interested in becoming a production accountant for a media production company. Any tips or advice? Any companies I should look into/reach out to in Toronto?

Does anyone else worry about their big 4 career for not being the most apt at small talk. I'm worried I'm not the most memorable member of my team for my clients and what it would mean going forward.

Me and SO seeing significant difference in Coinbase fees for a recurring transaction. Example: I am seeing around $19 fee for 500$ ETH recurring weekly while he is seeing around a $4 fee. Anyone experienced this? He has been a Coinbase user longer than I have, if that matters at all.

Hi there. Anyone willing to refer for Ops M&A roles at KPMG? Thanks!

Joined a new firm at the start of this year but it’s not a good fit and I want to leave for a different role type. Will it look bad to potential employers if I leave this company after 6 months? I was with my prior employer for 2.5 years before this.

P&T is ‘central to our FY23 strategy’ and yet we had to beg and plead to even get a handful of P&T Directors to represent at the Director CLeX happening this week in San Diego.

Not feeling the ‘one firm’ narrative we push - completely tone deaf and sends a horrible message for P&T Directors.

Major missed opportunity to start bridging the divide - particularly at a level where the real work gets done.

Toured One Paseo in Del Mar this week and it’s just so damn perfect💔 But that price tag 😭💸 super new to SD. Any recommendations for similar vibes elsewhere that might be a bit more reasonably priced? Looking to stay away from downtown/super urban areas but not interested in extremely isolated areas either.

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

How would you recommend tackling a middle manager bad mouthing to team members and seniors despite having left the job? I worked as a consultant at a globally reputed firm but with a terrible, mind draining team culture — now the middle manager is bad mouthing and of course not communicating her inability to manage her own time, leading to work calls at 10 pm in night and abusive language at work.

How long of a wait should I expect to receive a response from Deloitte following my final round interview? Unsure if I should follow up with the recruiter. (Been exactly 1 week)

I find myself struggling the explain things with the same eloquence as my colleagues. How can I improve my consulting speak? Any recommended books?

My brain and body have decided that my long weekend actually started today instead of Friday 😊

Thoughts on getting a CAMS certification as a Staff/Senior?

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

Anyone here go from a federal consulting practice to Microsoft Federal? Interested to hear about the work and differences between the two spaces.

How is Strategy& doing these days from a revenue / growth and market positioning perspective? Now an alum from several years ago; genuinely curious to hear how the integration has gone and if the waters have calmed a bit since I was there. (I personally had a good experience and was a good launchpad for my career, but have sort of lost touch with the firm and folks there)
