Complain about it. If you are lucky you might get beaten up and get upgraded to try to keep you quiet 😉

And you are # ___?

Was #1 of 84 the other day. Didn't get it. Hehe.

Been 1K for about 12 years now & so have lifetime status. Used to get upgrades some 90% of the time, probably down to about 10-15% now. Route rationalization & airline mergers killed it. At least our FT program now allows me business class >3 hours, though I'm fairly careful how I use that.

Yeah a fast way to get urself on a bad list is to buy F tickets even if expense policy permits it

How do you get on the bad list when it is firm policy? Had no problems here in the last few years..

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif
