Seating etiquette question:
I boarded a flight and when I got to my seat someone was in it and had fully unpacked into the seat. He wanted to sit next to the person adjacent to me.
He asked me to swap to a bulkhead seat and I declined.

I feel if he had waited until I got there, I would have been amenable. I was more stunned by the aggressive expectation that I would just move.

Was I wrong?

Do you still get points for food/drinks at the hotel if you don't charge it to your room and pay with your credit card at that time

Headed to SF for a week in April with family. We agreed on a “do your own thing” day and I want to go hiking. Unfortunately the 4hr drive from SF to Yosemite/Sierra/etc is too much for one day. 1/2

What is the tipping etiquette on the free platinum breakfast in a JW Marriott? The server just gets coffee / orange juice and you serve yourself. It is an overpriced buffet that I would never dine in.

Amex gold or chase Sapphire preferred? I need a card for international travel to avoid foreign exchange fees. Please note, that I'll receive a $150 credit towards the Amex annual fee due to having a corp card. I'd you my capital one checking, but no rewards/benefits there.

Getting to the rental car counters from the United terminal at IAD is such a task

The biggest problems with hotels is that they're not user-oriented when they think of where to place the toilet paper. It's always uncomfortable to reach for it.

Need 6 Marriott nights to titanium (spend doesn’t matter). 1 - would any hotel manager cut you a deal? (Ie if 6 nights is 60k; let me pay 30k and get the nights and I won’t use the room?); 2 - where are cheapest Marriott hotels? I found 10k per night in burbs of Chicago? 3 - would any cheap Marriott let me run this scam remotely? (Ie call Abilene Texas, check me in without my showing up)

Recently joined PwC and very overwhelmed with the constant overwork and late night working. I didn't expect this to be a norm in EU. Anyone else has faced this?

Did any of you tried the free website creation from @thefreewebsiteguys ?

Serious question: what’s up with wearing sneakers along with suits is there a certain type of sneaker? I find it hard to switch, but I see it more and more.

My lawyers filed my h1b extension and amendment together even after advising not to by the v and I advisor. I’m getting freaked out. Any suggestions ?

I felt very good following Dana’s Town Hall. Having heard other networks are already facing furloughs and layoffs, did you feel as encouraged?

Is anyone working somewhere with a hiring freeze right now? I started this job about 6 months ago and I'm worried I'll be the first one out now that they're officially pausing. Should I be looking for another job, and how much will this affect my resume if I get laid off?

Anyone ready for NYC gathering?

Currently 16 weeks with an inconsistent bump. Sometimes is noticeable and other times it’s not, anyone experienced this? Currently it went back to almost non existent and am worried

Any friendly BCGers want to give a login to the Indigo site for Tumi? It’s password protected now. :(

Do I work at a toxic workplace?

We had a team touchbase where we as a group were asked our concerns regarding year end. I raised my concerns about staffing/expectations (the team is 75% new) since last year was demanding with us being up to 1 AM the day before deadline.

My director was on the call but not my VP. My VP reached out today and said he doesn’t appreciate hearing such comments on the grapevine but I was confused b/c all i did was answer the question I was asked.

Does anyone have an idea or range of salaries for PIMCO? As either an Associate or Senior Associate? i’m looking to transition back to CA from Dallas. I’m currently at goldman.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Verizon or new T-Mobile+sprint

Can we open New Salary bank account in Optum for lateral? Or its mandatory to provide last company's salary account details and continue with same bank?

I hate to tell all these folks wearing masks on my flight that they only help to prevent you from infecting others. They do nothing to prevent you from inhaling airborne pathogens.

I’m loving the resurgence of this bowl. Making me feel like I’m about to board group 1 somewhere 💕

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

LAX (T3) - open the fucking sky priority TSA line, it doesn’t take any staff, it’s just a line cut. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I can’t be the only person who is thrilled they are banning “emotional support” animals from the cabin of a plane.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.

Person brought a pit bull onto the flight. I’m shocked there is not a breed restriction

Saw a 5 year old in a face mask rolling around on the floor of the airport. Panic and misinformation spreading like wildfire.
