I just want to travel 😪😪😪

Hi All - I am trying to figure out how to fly my friends family from Germany to US (Los Angeles) using points. They are Ukrainian refugees and figured I could help this way. I have 90K UA pts and 420k AMEX pts. Which are best transfers / routes I should look into?

Anyone know if I can transfer h1b visa while traveling overseas ? The purpose is for getting a visa stamp + personal trip.

Marriott vs Hilton? I'll be travelling to Palo Alto for next year and I am just getting started on points. KPMG promo for Hilton gives me diamond in 16 nights whereas nothing for Marriott.

Hi Fishes,
Anybody relocated to Bangalore for joining kgs? What kind of hotel facilities do they normally provide for employees' stay?

Can I apply for an h1b transfer even though I haven’t worked in the US for the past few months? I moved and worked in another country for some time. My visa is not expired yet and my employer did not cancel my visa. Is it a simple cap exempt h1b visa transfer or is it more complicated because I most recently wasn’t using my h1b actively ?

I haven’t had a legit 1-2 week vaca in 3 years and now with Delta it looks it’ll be another year or two before it happens. ✈️ If I don’t feel safe leaving the country, I might as well keep on working. 👩🏻‍💻

Escorted to hotel quarantine and spending these 2 weeks trying to figure out if I would/could/should make the move to Sydney permanent. Wife and kids are Australian citizens.

My younger sister has recently got engaged to a complete loser (who has previously cheated on her and been aggressive towards her). My parents are, for some bizarre reason, going along with it. I know I can only give her my advice and then let her get on with her life, but I don’t want to go to the wedding. My mum is now giving me ultimatums like ‘if you don’t go, we won’t see you for Christmas’. I can’t stomach going to the wedding- I just don’t know what to do

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable

Does anyone know what a senior manager and director make at PWC in the UK? (assurance specifically, if it matters). Thank you so much in advance!

Hello! I joined a company in the UK 6 months ago, and received a £20,000 gross sign on bonus - clause associated to this however was that I stay for a minimum of 12 months. Unfortunately, the role is really proving to be the wrong fit, and I am looking to leave.

Question for you all - if I resign, I assume I would be expected to pay back the sign on bonus despite me only receiving approx 12k after tax. Anyone know the process for a tax clawback for something like this? Thanks in advance!
