The SPG green choice voucher man is essentially the tooth fairy for consultants...

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

Planning to travel during Thanksgiving (super late in planning as usual) any fun recos- travelling from Chicago have boatloads of AA and Bonvoy points to burn. 7-8 nights

Successfully made the jump.

Places where I applied and got an interview so at least I know they look at fed backgrounds. Might want to check them out. These were DC area.

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time.

Going to sound like a silly question, but my hotel smoke alarm chirped one time. No smoke in my room. Anything to be concerned about before bed? Travel a lot never had alarm beep.

Best books to study for case-study interviews? Or methods people have used? Coming from the consulting industry already but not a pure strategy role so need to catch up to speed fast
