Best cash-equivalent conversion of UA miles, Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt points?

I’m personally a no frills traveler (hostels, economy etc) and have way too many of each...

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

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

Is everybody earning double NIGHTS with SPG? I had thought the promo was double POINTS but I've been getting double nights 👀

So my spg points and nights have still not merged with my Marriott account. Anyone else having this issue?

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

What are currently the best Canadian credit cards for travelers? Looking for Aeroplan or bonvoy points or companion tickets

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

I got bumped back to platinum elite on both Marriott and SPG.. after being gold for a few months now (have been on a local project for a year now)
Strange.

A first for me, after 1.6 million miles. Thankful for a delay. The delay on the connector saved me a night at ord Hilton after the ludicrous delay on the first leg.t. Truly grateful united

Does anyone happen to know the PwC discount codes for Hilton and Marriott hotels...asking for a friend

Suggestions on how to spend the next year before starting MM PE gig? Don’t have a lot of modeling experience, any tips on prepping or is it mostly learning on the job?

A large part of my job involves building models or making reports that involve copying numbers from one document to another. Sometimes, if I get interrupted, I lose my train of thought and make mistakes in getting the right number. Nothing disastrous has happened, but I’m trying to figure out how to get better at not losing my train of thought when doing work that basically involves looking up numbers from various documents. Any suggestions?

Does anyone freeze with deadlines, and if so what works for you? Whenever I have a deadline my brain freezes and refuses to work. It used to be that my brain worked overtime right before a deadline - now it refuses to work until after a deadline. I think this is because all of my deadlines are internal and I’ve never had a partner look at anything immediately after a deadline. This is affecting my work obviously - any tips would be useful and appreciated!

What has helped you unwind at the end of the school day?

Tax question: my SM changed my hours with a location I never worked at, from 2020. When I asked for a change, he is hesitant since it’s a long process. Would it cause any issue on visa if I filed a tax to a state I never worked in?

Does anyone have any fun online games to play with the team for well-being breaks?

I hate daylight saving time! That’s it for my rant. Have a great day everyone!

Lol so I left work a little bit early yesterday to get a pedicure and when I walk into the store, I see one of the partners sitting down getting one himself. Of course, I end up sitting next to him and we end up talking about work stuff...

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Is there anyone here that works for the same company as their SO? We do and both love where we work but during times like these almost feels more intense with the uncertainty.

Is Deloitte WLB for a S. Consultant really that bad? Got a great offer from them, but everyone I’ve talked to has nothing good to say about the firm or their work culture

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

When is the prime-time in life to get an MBA? Is it only worth it in this industry to get one from a top-tier university? (Senior Analyst at Accenture)

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Sweetgreen or Chopt?

What firms will pay for a MBA? Deloitte Consulting does and Deloitte Advisory doesn't. Thinking it's prob time to leave advisory.

I’m a few years out of college and have been mentoring a few students and new joiners at my company. Sometimes, I don’t even feel like I’m good enough to mentor anyone. Any advice?

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
