Ritz Carlton at half moon bay club house — 60k points a night + resort fee (around $35 a night) — worth it?

Hello! I'm travelling with 3 friends to NYC in early Nov. We haven't been before so we're very excited! Can you please share recommendations for food, nightclubs, bars, etc. Things you think we must do in our 6 days there! Thank you!

🚨 Arriving home to Ohare and was approached by a guy offering taxi rides and handing out business cards in terminal 3 baggage claim. DO NOT ACCEPT RIDES FROM PEOPLE OFFERING THEM!!! Whether they ‘can do cash or card,’ don’t buy it - they’ve got you once you’re in the car. Told airport emergency hotline and they are investigating.

Stay safe and don’t get got!!

Are there any nice tourist towns on the chesapeake bay that are worth visiting?

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

Is wfh available in coforge? The office in GNIDA is very very far. Is it safe to travel by own car? If by cab are these small cars or typical suvs with 6-7 drops?

W south beach or Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale?

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

Anyone ever stayed at Westin Tokyo? Is the concierge lounge any good?

Anyone have good book recommendations that I can learn from and are entertaining? Trying to survive a 10 hour flight this weekend 🆘🆘🆘

Guys please suggest any good hotel(no need hifi, just for night stay) to stay in kharadi, Pune or near by.
I have 2 days working office in a week. Need for 2-3 days only.
If you have any idea please suggest.

Any thoughts on Sidley's London office? How sharp elbowed are the associates and how much do partners genuinely try and help you develop a career? Bonus points if you can provide insight on how the corporate and finance departments work with specialists on transactional matters. As a final ask, are they genuinely into D&I and flexible working efforts or is this predominantly lip service? Thanks in advance!

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.

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

Might have to leave the “all things points” bowl soon if these creepy ant/roach/bug posts continue. Making me so paranoid to stay in a hotel now smh

Anyone knows how chase sapphire travel insurance works? I used the first leg of the trip but cannot return due to an illness. It is cheaper for me to cancel the return leg and buy and new one way.

American has a promo listed on their app - use Rocketmiles to book a hotel and earn X000 American points. Has anyone here used it? If I book a Marriott properly, can I apply my Marriott retroactively?

How is teksystems in terms of job security and wlb for Bangalore location for 9 years experience as Java backend developer.

I am done with my HR round. And said I am selected in Siemens, balewadi, but not yet received the offer letter. Its been a month now They are waiting for approvals. Any idea when will I get the offer letter.

I accepted a position within AFS on Friday, and I was told there would be quite a few approvals needed before I receive a letter. How long does that process take within AFS?

Just wondering about how is the WLB in HSBC account of Synechron, Pune? I am reading so much of pros and cons on Glassdoor and here. Some are saying the cons like Hire and fire are a FAKE news.

I have the highest offer in hand from Synechron with HSBC client. Please help me make up my mind whether I should join them or not..?

I have another offer with LTI as well but just a marginal difference in pay, and the Location is Mumbai. Should I choose LTI instead?

Please Help!!

PwC Hong Kong has been appointed to advise to Open ANX foundation

I need a laugh. Tell me about your most entitled client.

Mine called my personal cell phone on Christmas Day to ask me the status of her case while I was in the middle of watching my kids open presents. I’d just talked to her the week before and told her that the defendants had 30 days to respond.

Tired of the superficial swiping apps? Good old fashioned text based personals ads Just like in the olden days. Keep it classy!

Hi ! DOES ANYONE HAS CONTACT OF GENUINE CAREER COUNSELLORS FOR MASTERS ? PLEASE PLEASE

Considering a move in-house to NBC Universal in any litigation role (though I’d really go to wherever there is a need, whether litigation or business affairs generally). Coming from 4th year law firm litigation experience in a variety of areas but mostly data breach, e-discovery, breach of K. Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

All of my alts (XRP, XLM, TRX) are 🚀.... makes me very happy but very uncomfortable. Anyone else taking profits, or just hodling?

What causes a coin to suddenly spike 100%+ in value in a matter of hours? I mean how does demand collectively sky rocket - seems unlikely that so many people would have a coordinated buy?

Any thoughts on CND ( www.cindicator.com), already have Cindicator bot with AI based predictive analysis. Low market cap, currently at .12 cents , just trying to find something which is not hyped yet but with good fundamentals

Does anyone feel like these cryptos and short term real time pump and jump investments come at emotional and psychological cost? Money looks too easy and it gets frustrating when you just sold something that has been stagnant for days and the moment you sell it just skyrockets etc. just curious

This might seem silly, but does anyone have a script for giving notice? Lol. Or at least good points to hit on? Particularly partners— what has/has not gone over well? Main concern here is to not burn any bridges.

As someone who has spent 7 years in the recruitment field specifically helping those who originated in audit or partnership tax compliance I’d be happy to answer anyone’s questions! Please only those that live and work in NYC.

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.

Thoughts on the new Chase Freedom Flex?

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Hotel recommendations in Sydney and Melbourne?

Received an offer to upgrade my Amex Everyday to an Everyday Preferred for 40k points. Is that considered a good offer? And if I do upgrade, will it count towards 5/24?

Is it just me or Marriott is actively trying to kill the SPG brand. Have been trying to reach SPG platinum customer service line - 3 attempts so far, each lasting 30 mins, no success yet.
