Tell him to cancel and send you the cash. Rebook on his behalf, and put his name on the reservation alongside yours. He'll get the upgrade, free breakfast and if you have an ambassador you can get him surprise beers/wine on arrival. You will then get the room points...

Do you have an ambassador? Doesn't hurt to try and ask that route.

I'm sure if you offer to pay they will

They sent up free champagne, it was really easy. Great job Sheraton chicago!

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

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.
