Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

I’m looking to hire a former Ed Jones/Ameriprise FA in the DFW metroplex that wants to grow their business, learn holistic planning without the unrealistic sales quotas with opportunity for equity ownership of their book.

I’m flying my mom to NY for the 2nd time from Taiwan for the birth of her first grandkid! I would love to upgrade her to business since she’s flying alone, doesn’t speak English, & hates flying. The only direct is EVA air. After researching, we think a good option is to use Chase points. My sister and I are combining our points but still short by a lot. Doesn’t look like we can buy Chase points, so wondering if anyone has any tips/hacks on how to get/buy more points?

Best consulting firms to work for that will allow 100% remote work indefinitely regardless of what clients do?

Very difficult to explore side opps when consulting. When clocking 70+ hours no time to work on others. Wage slavery continues...

How do you negotiate higher salaries or stock in an offer?

What are the weirdest reasons you have heard for people being laid-off? I have heard someone getting laid off because they missed submitting their time-sheets for 3 times in a year.

Getting back on the road for the first time in a year.... any recommendations for getting back in the swing of things?

How many consultants per capita do you have in your country and what conclusions can be drawn in correlated statistics? As per capita consultants go up, ...

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

CFA or CAIA?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?

How bad is it when your managing partner has to send out missives (yes, plural) about your deployment?

Planning a babymoon with my wife. Shooting for April-May and looking at Hawaii (Maui or Big Island). Hoping with the vaccine and travel precautions, it'll be okay, but we're also prepared to cancel.

Consulting to buy side (public investments, hedge funds, mutual funds, etc outside of PE) - anyone heard of people doing this?

Canadians, what’s a good store/website to buy men’s non-hardcore winter boots? Ones you can wear for Friday/travel day.
