So many noob travelers at ORD this evening. Happily bumping in each other, letting their kids run wild in terminal, blocking the aisle as they run up n down trying to find overhead space 👋

Are u supposed to tip the luggage carrier/ outside agent the airport? this is the guy who is outside your terminal, he prints ur tick, tags your bag and sends u on ur way. No, right?

Has anyone been offered a status buy-up for 2021. ~$1700 short of United 1k this year and think my travel will increase a good bit starting next year. Think it could make sense, especially given the 2021 thresholds

Any suggestions on SPG/Marriott hotels in Barcelona for personal travel?

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈

Hi new to dfw area looking to buy a house. How’s the commute downtown from Frisco/McKinney area?

Visiting Toronto in September, I've been there many times and have had a good time, though I've never fallen in love with the City. What are some of your suggestions for visitors beyond St. Lawrence market, CN tower and distillery district?

Also any recommendations for Prince Edward County? Favourite restaurants, wineries, towns and view points?

Would love to fall in love with Ontario this trip :)

Thanks!

Are there any sand volleyball courts in DFW that keep lights on at night. I've tried Sandbar and Sports Garden but they are really crowded and you can't even bring water inside.

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?

Health question: How to deal with chronic back pain? I may have a herniated disc and wondering if surgery is a viable option. I hate being restricted actively and constantly reinjuring myself.

When will Above The Law get rid of Joe Patrice? 🤡

Curious - would you consider a lateral move to a lower ranked firm if the practice group is higher ranked than at your current firm? In other words what’s more important - firm or practice group ranking?

How do you change work location at EY? Is there a portal or any contact?

Any freelance digital designers want to meet my CCO that is in town next Tuesday in DTLA to talk figure partnerships? DM me.

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

I've noticed that my coworkers tend to work more on their own than with others, even when they're all in the office. Is this normal? I feel like it would be helpful for everyone to talk about their projects more often—I mean, what if someone else has solved the same problem you're trying to solve already?

Having a discussion with someone about seo. They were adamant that seo works differently on a mac book for some reason. Am I missing something?

Is anyone else having the worst time switching jobs? I’ve been applying for a year and haven’t gotten any job offers even though I get interviews. If anyone knows of a headhunter I could reach out to though I’d be so appreciative! I’m so frustrated….

Anyone sell to Zillow? Got an amazing offer from them, but naturally my floor decided to start deforming right before inspection. No water damage - I can get someone out here to fix it ASAP, but wondering if it’s worth the hassle. Mostly worries inspector will think there’s water or foundation issues

Emailed recruiter to set up interview but no response. How long should I wait before reaching out to hiring manager?

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...

I hate traveling with a coat

Is it fair to say I hate recruiters more than lawyers?
