Shit. Last thing I needed after working until 3am was bloody bed sheets. Thanks Westin.

Planning to travel during Thanksgiving (super late in planning as usual) any fun recos- travelling from Chicago have boatloads of AA and Bonvoy points to burn. 7-8 nights

Any recommendations on St Regis vs Ritz Carlton Istanbul?

Best SPG + Marriott hotels in Beijing?

Does anybody have hotel recommendations for Beijing? Deciding between renaissance Wangfujing, JW Beijing, Conrad, St. Regis. Much appreciated!

Booked a room at a Marriott property for the Kentucky Derby next year a couple months back and now they are saying they’re overbooked and the reservation isn’t going to be honored. Any help?

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

Planning to visit Bali on May 2020. I have a wife and 2 toddlers (4, 1) tagging along. TPG recommends the Le Meridien. Any other recommendations for family-friendly Marriott properties?

Looking to book one night at a Marriott property in chicago to celebrate anniversary with my wife - mostly deciding between the Gwen and the Ritz. Which would you choose? (Assume price doesn’t matter)

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)

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

SPG app updated for me but not combination

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

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.

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

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

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

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?

What happens when someone sign an offer letter and decide not to join for some reason like joining a diff company?

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

Guess the tips and tricks are that Skymiles suck. I knew that sadly.

(1/2) People who work in the Bay Arae peninsula (Menlo Park) and live in the east bay- which is a good place to buy a house, upcoming, easy to rent or Airbnb in case I have to move back to my country! Prefer single family home as young as possible.
1- brentwood
2- Pleasanton
3- Dublin (expensive)
4- San Ramon (very expensive)
5- what else?

Any insight on Proskauer’s NYC L&E practice group? Good place for associates?

how much harder is banking then valuation?

Anyone willing to refer me for a Business Analyst position at Amazon?

My project team is always distracted by my looks. I really want them to stay focus and deliver the project as expected by stakeholders. They always trying to complement me instead of keeping it business.

There are too many men out there who think that just because I'm being polite, it's a sign that they should flirt with me while I'm at work. I thought this was 2022, why haven't we as a society gotten past this yet?

When asked,do you disclose your current rate in an interview? Are you required to provide evidence? What is the norm? Thanks!!!

Any great personal finance/investment books to read? Or even YouTubers/Podcasters

Really looking into expanding my investment horizons — particularly about learning about how to allocate my investment portfolio. Also, always nice to learn about better ways to save and cutback.

I got laid off today 🥲 would appreciate anyone who can help refer UX or product designer roles. 🙏

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

What do you think it takes for a PPD to get a utilization bearing WBS for proposal work? I know it is rare...

Can anyone shed some light on Deloitte’s ServiceNow practice? Wondering about WLB and pay as somebody with 2 YOE. Thanks :)

PwC parental leave benefits?

$60k difference between Redfin and Zillow on my house. Which is closer to true value or should I split the difference for a solid base?

Any good books/reads to learn aspects of Account Management / Engagement Management in context of tech consulting?

What’s an ideal monthly living expense all inclusive in NY/NJ area for a single person? Good to have this data to budget and scale yourself.

Anyone else work in the service industry growing up? Worked at a Little Caesars for 4 years (youngest asst. manager ever thank you very much) and I maintain that I have never faced that level of pressure or stress in my professional career. Standing between a Karen-customer and their $5 pizza is not a feeling I’ll ever forget.

Literally first consulting project where I have to create all decks for discovery. How do you handle the stress? What if you screw up?

Deloitte scatterplots: Whats the point of rpm & check ins if you get great feedback with no improvements and end up JUST above (4,4)? Looks like most people are better than that. I feel like shit.

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.

Roth or traditional 401k? I already have some in roth with previous employer.

Best consulting firms for PE work (CDD,Value Creation)? Looking for the best firm for exit ops to PE ops eventually. Thanks!

Why does everyone bag on ATL? It’s actually not a bad connecting airport.

Best books to study for case-study interviews? Or methods people have used? Coming from the consulting industry already but not a pure strategy role so need to catch up to speed fast

Which top consulting firms, if any, will pay for your MBA?

I’ve always been the voice of reason and would speak up whenever I didn’t agree with something. However, I’ve reached a IDGAF attitude about everything at my current job and now just sit in these meetings not saying a thing. I think people are starting to sense the lack of interest. Whatever.

My younger sister is a rising college senior - doing well in school (near perfect GPA) and majoring in English. She’s not sure what she wants to do but likes working with people and thinks working in HR/people ops could be interesting. How would you guide her in the job search? (Cont)

Has anyone here ever had a sudden revelation that they hate leading a team? If so, what did you do about it?

Another day going to the client with my gym bag, another day going home late with clean sport clothes. Work-life balance they said... 😤
