Which airline?

It will get better—quickly

P2- United.
Useful fact- u get United silver if u have platinum at Marriott. So I had traveled enough last year to get platinum in spg which gives me platinum in Marriott.

OP- that’s the same rule for delta too. SPG platinum gives you silver

Hi, this is a bit early but thought y’all might have some good insight. I’m exiting my current startup & have two offers on the table 1.

I’m going through the recruitment process at McKinsey for a middle/back office role (capabilities for a really cool space) but by the time I hear back, one of my offers won’t be on the table. Any advice on what’s best for MBA apps?
