#Tipoftheday - Consider standalone travel projects - nobody knows where you are so you can work from the pool while drinking PPT juice 😎🍸

Just booked flight to Hong Kong. Best SPG/Marriott to book on points? Trying to find proximity to good nightlife, restaurants, and public transportation. (Cont.)

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

If h1 client location LCA amendment is in progress, can I travel outside country for visa stamping?

Hi 🐠 Best hotel in Mykonos and Santorini for honeymoon?

Most exotic work travel destination you've ever gone to and for what brand or client?

Anyone successfully use the $200 Amex hotel credit? The FHR and hotel collection redemptions are all pretty insane price wise. I’ve heard there are some good deals to be had in Vegas but looking for other options.

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management. I have 13YOE managing cross-departmental projects and people, and I’d like to shed the general EA work of calendars/travel/expenses. But recruiters just see my most recent role is EA and that’s all they want to talk to me about. I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.

“At dinner John (client) said I have nice legs, grabbed my thigh, put his arm around me & invited me to his hotel. Seems inappropriate.” Boss: “Well we won’t be taking him to dinner again this year”🤯

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

What is your credit limit on CCR? We're going through some life changes (wedding, rings, travel, etc.) and was recently surprised to find my credit limit is only $30K even after being a solid customer. What are the ways I can get an increase in the credit limit?

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

Has anyone ever gone out to the W Hotel on Capitol Hill? Is it like a bar/club? Do you recommend it?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Google tse ( tech support + consultant)


Walmart data engineer

Target data engineer



Walmart Target Google Amazon

Which one do you all suggest?
Salary same for all

Sometimes I feel like I over prepare for these interviews in that I prepare for the wrong thing. Expected to throw down some answers to technical questions and it ended up all being culture and fit related

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
