Travel folks! Traveling a ton for EY, based out of LAX, debating what the best frequent flyer program would be for flight redemptions (award travel)...

It varies all over so not one set location but most areas I fly to have the three major airlines (Delta, United, American) so debating between those so I can be flexible...

I would pick the airline that serves you the best. Frequent flyer miles are usually easier to get via CC sign up bonuses than actual flying.

Delta is the best for your options. WSJ does an article every year on best airlines. Delta is #1

I’d check airline credit cards to see accrual on purchases, plus do they offer a buy one get one OR get the 2nd ticket discounted annually? Partner airlines are also a big consideration, especially if you have plans to travel overseas.

Depends on the airports. All airline programs are generally similar (to me at least). I typically choose based on where I want to spend my time. For instance, United has a nice terminal in some airports and cruddy trrminal in others. Delta tends to always have lower end terminals.

I know it's not a common way to choose air carrier, but it works for me.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

For staff/seniors in public accounting. Would you rather be paid 1 1/2 for your tax season overtime hours or would you prefer to wait for a big fat bonus check at the end of the company year? I heard KMPG paid overtime at 1.5 back in the day when the others didn't. I am sure they have now cut that out though.
