Traveling to Europe with the gf this summer. Best Marriott to spend points at for a beach vacation? Looking at Barcelona, Monaco, Cannes, etc. my ideal trip was positano but no marriotts there

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.

Guys n gals- best give delta another week before any sort of normal operation

Do you work a lot of overtime during flu season/the holiday season? My manager says with travelers and people needing shots + antibiotics we'll get swamped for like the next 3 months. Do I just work somewhere understaffed or is there a "busy season?"

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

So about Growth Marketing…
“Growth” has been a permutator for many marketers looking to spice up their resume and whatnot, and in most cases they are either generalists or dedicated to a very specific area of marketing.

What are some must-haves you look for in one? What is it Not, but still gets sold as one? Answer any or all!

Went to a funeral today, wife’s oldest friend 42 non smoker, non drinker, did yoga and was a vegetarian and probably the nicest person I have met… went back to the house husband wanted a drink opened a top shelf bottle cause why not?

Hi 🐠
What's the best way to reach status in the absence of a fast track through work?

I’ve got 100,000 AmEx points, I’m tempted to convert to a $1k gift card since it’s easy and low effort. But should I just wait until I have a need to convert to a flight redemption (which I think has the highest value of all other options)?

Just hit platinum status for Marriot, what’s the best annual choice benefit to select? Are the suite night awards easy to use?

Have y’all ever switched to a later flight for travel vouchers? If so what’s your cutoff $ amount?
