Recent Marriott promotion ended on the 20th, no new ones announced, are they holding off q3 promotions until the 18th when both programs officially become one?

Is there a quick way to earn status on delta?

Chances of an early promotion as a first year CbDer?

Recently got a raise (putting me at 68k). Turned down an offer for 75k to stick it out and company said they can’t match. Management sup was laid off. Account director just quit. Need more $$. ADVICE?

For the past month, while I'm booked for 45 hrs, I'm only getting work of around 2-3 hrs from the onshore.
Should I raise this issue and if yes, to whom?
(It's my 5th month at gds)

EY raises and PBB so far have been in line with past few years. So much for the “this time it’s different” hype. Time to jump ships and get additional 15-20% raise

How is AirBnB ethical when its business model exists through legal arbitrage? It has functionally created rental property service without being subject to the same taxes and liability insurance of a regular hotel company due to the dubious claim of “It’s on the web.”

I join tcs by changing my profile and my previous exp was in 5 yr pre-sales.

Plz suggest.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

Hi. So I'm about to begin employment with United HealthGroup. It will be for Medicare recipients. I have some years experience with Medicaid. Any advice? I know, at first, it'll be working on the phones. Any thoughts also on how to get off the phones or how to move into other positions? Thank you.

I have just immigrated to worth, Illinois from the Middle East. I have 6+ years of experience (proofed by a certificate) from Four Seasons Hotel Amman. Can anyone recommend a 5 stars hotel with front desk supervisor vacancy?

I have been promised a promotion three times now, but when the time comes, I'm told I'm not there yet. Why promise something if you clearly don't want to execute it?

Mid level Electrical Engineer in the greater Baltimore, MD area making $115k base w/ $20k sign on bonus. No yearly bonus. I started this job in April of this year. 2-3 years experience. When I onboarded they told me to expect promotion to EE III in about a year. Performance reviews coming at the end of the this year and I’m wondering 1) if my salary is on par with what I should expect 2) how to approach conversations about raises and promotion with my supervisor. Thanks for any insights.

Does anyone else think Southwest is bush league or is it just me....

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

TL;DR - a rando complaining

I feel exhausted, truly exhausted, by wanting something serious and simple yet only attracting casual and complicated. I get that dating is a chore and this city is notoriously fast, but I'm just just at a loss.

Anyone do macro counting? How do you like it?

Might be the wrong bowl but finding it extremely difficult to focus on work post busy season. It’s been 2 weeks since we filed and I’m still taking lots of naps and breaks (I’m talking like 3-4 cumulative hrs worked during the day). Idk if I’m taking longer to recover from busy season bc I’m getting old or if I’m over public accounting (but then where do i go). Tried to schedule time with a therapist but everyone has a months-long waitlist so next step might be trying to find a life/career coach

Go on then. Guesses how long until Uncommon sell?

Advice on managing up / enduring toxic deal teams? I’m at the point where my stomach drops any time I see something come in from certain people. Everything is behind, client is unhappy, I’m exhausted and simultaneously being micromanaged without guidance on big-picture/substantive issues. I keep trying to tell myself at least this is consulting and the project will be over... eventually...

Does anyone know what base comp/bonus look like for Manager and AP levels in IQVIA’s strategy consulting practice in US?

Hi Fish Fam!!! My BF and I just arrived to Ibiza for three nights and would love some recommendations! We would love to turn up! 😀 Thanks in advance!!

How much support staff is reasonable to expect? Plaintiff PI, med mal/aviation and we’ve lost 2/4 “paralegals” in the last month. Lack of support staff really beginning to feel like it will limit my ability to handle the usual caseload. Was on an island before, and only going to get worse…

Why Pgs and flats in Pune are so expensive?????

A friend was told their firm will cut ties EOY if certain things don’t improve. Friend had planned to quit in the next year anyway (to start their own business), so there is no real incentive to bend over backwards. Friend’s goal is to keep the income for a little longer, but to minimize conflict / headaches. What’s the best move here? Wait until EOY and take the severance? Give 6 / 9 / 12 months’ notice now? Is there such a thing as too much notice? Could too much notice backfire?

Hello Fishes!

There is "Annual Flexible Compensation" compenent in the salary structure, is it paid monthly along with basic salary or as it has flexible word in the name , its given as per company's performance?

Thank you!

How much of your gig is spent interviewing candidates? I feel like that’s a solid 30% of my role these days.

I set up a call today with an even more senior leader (I am an EVP) and asked him for advice on navigating the political waters of our global workplace. He was so honest and helpful it was .....amazing. I don't think I expected it to be so genuinely helpful. I highly suggest you reach above for advice if needed. Sometimes it works!

Do AA 500 mile upgrade awards expire? I have used a decent amount of upgrades, but I still have 14 that I have been sitting for a about maybe 6-7 months. I do not see anything about them expiring, but I would not be surprised if they do.

I am hoping someone can provide some insight so I don’t have to contact AA customer service :)

Looking to spurge all of my Marriott points for honeymoon. Which international property would everyone recommend?

Booking flights for family on United and partner airline (Lufthansa). Should I put it on my chase sapphire preferred or United explorer card to maximize points? I’m not traveling with them if that matters..

People at EY not use the corporate card? The expense system is horrible. But might not be worth using my Marriott card...

Rumor: CSR annual fee is increasing to $550. Added perks: DoorDash and Lyft credit.

What’s the point of suite upgrade nights with Marriott? I have had all of mine denied or the reservation doesn’t qualify. You feel like you get a perk but never can use them.

Any star alliance status match delta platinum?

Asked this in another group and realized this group might have more insight. Which one should I get: Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve?

Ok. I am lowly platinum on AA. I am taking a redeye and have a choice of LA to Philly or Phoenix to Philly. Is there any way to check which specific flight would give the best chance for upgrade?

Points for the hot tub being out of order my entire stay? I’m staying here solely for a ski vacation and would have switched hotels had I known in advance.

Simply wondering, once PP or EXP on AA, why do you stop earning 500 mile certificates? I know you they’re no longer necessary at these levels but what if I don’t hit top tier the following year?

Does it matter when you check in online for a hotel in terms of getting an upgrade? I'm a titanium elite Marriott bonvoy member looking for upgrades at Westin and Ritz in a couple of days. Any tips on getting an upgrade?

Can I simply upgrade from Amex Blue Cash Preferred to Amex gold? Or would both just be open at the same time since one is technically a charge card?
