Starting a new project and I want to give SPG a shot.. Should I go with automatic SPG gold or do a challenge for Platinum. My project is only 5 weeks so not certain if I can do spg later

Getting automatic gold doesn't preclude you from doing the platinum challenge, so you should sign up for it. There's no downside to signing up. You can try it as many times as you need to until you actually earn 18 nights in a 3 month period. You can also activate it retroactively, so if you have any SPG activity in the last month, you could apply that to the challenge as well.

Sign up for the Deloitte Marriott rewards. Different, but good to have.

Yeah I'm already Platinum Marriott

Plat challenge. Check out every night. Accomplish stays not nights

True about stays. Once I split time between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami and it counted as two stays, which actually made a difference.

Thanks imma just get automatic gold status thru Deloitte. Only way to get 4 points per stay is have 50 calendar nights seems like which by that time I'll have earned platinum anyway. Only benefit to platinum is double welcome points and better upgrades. Id rather earn gold status points now than lose out on 3 weeks worth

Oh shit thanks.. Def gonna try that then

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
