EY1 is there another Marriott brand hotel you like better in downtown San Fran?

Not Marriott but do love the Fairmount sorry lol...

RSA?

I like the Marquis. Not ultra fancy but a solid Marriott.

@EY1 you stay at the Fairmont for billable work? Are you a partner?! Guess it's not much more than the Ritz...

I think the restaurant has a Michelin star

St Regis is the best for downtown

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.

I make $100K with 12% bonus and was offered a role $130k with 15-20% bonus. 4YOE in provider industry.

I am in a comfortable spot with a good team but the work is dull, new role would be consulting with more work & travel

I would appreciate pros/cons etc! Thank you.
