I have an H1b which I received in 2019 and was valid till august2021, due to covid I wasn't able to travel and then I switched to another firm last year in November. If I get visa transfer, will it provide me a validity back as I haven't used any on site time on that visa.

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.

Any recommendations for hotels there that you've liked? I figure the Ritz or Four Seasons, but would love some opinions from those who have been.

I have a flight at 7a on Sunday but I’ll be out late having fun the night before. If I miss my flight will I have to pay for a new one-way ticket home? Delta and I have Silver medallion.

Who should get my loyalty? United or American?

Planning on staying in Japan in November for a week! Any recommendations on where to stay / things to do? Also, got some SPG points (<100k) I want to use!

American Airline q - if I have Gold status and an American Airlines credit card - does that mean I get two free checked bags or one

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

Going to Key West in a few weeks - any recommendations? Have a reservation at Latitudes already and day trip to Dry Tortugas planned

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

Any tips for HireVue interviews/Delta Airlines?

Is it just me or Marriott is actively trying to kill the SPG brand. Have been trying to reach SPG platinum customer service line - 3 attempts so far, each lasting 30 mins, no success yet.

Is there any way to preserve/sell a Spirit airline reservation credit? Mine expires at the end of the year. Had to cancel over the summer due to extreme delays and uncertainties.

My friends think it's cool that I "get to" travel all the time, they don't get how disruptive my job really is... #flightattendantproblems

KPMG and KPMG global services private limited are different

Need refrel for sap basis and hana consultant having 6+ years of experience

So physically and mentally tired, I don't know how long I can keep up with work anymore. Told my senior management that I'm burning out, only to be blessed with another secondment. I now have two going at the same time, plus other client work, new business work, and managing scroundels.

I’ve been hearing that a lot of desi folks are moving from US to Canada and are joining the same firm in Canada. Any of of you care to explain how you’re going about it?

Watching Thor Bradley chop wood and talk dirty to tree stumps on Tiktok has me down astronomically 🥵🥵🥵 I too wish to leave thirsty comments like "you could split me open with just one try" on his videos lol like men on Tiktok have really mastered the art of thirst traps from the female gaze

Hi all. I’m looking into potentially transitioning to PE with a background in Finance Transformation consulting @KPMG of 4yrs. Do I stand a chance? Any advice on how to best approach this would be super helpful, thanks.

How much do people make on average in VC after 2-3 years out of undergrad in MBB/IB?

Unpopular opinion - let’s replace “hi, i.m. okay?” with “hello, when you have a moment, can you please [ENTER REQUEST]. Let me know if you have any questions.” You’ve already messaged me so i can’t really say no, can you email me instead? If that’s the case I’d be on do not disturb or offline.

That’s it. That’s the post.

30M here, up for a chat

I struggle with imposter syndrome big time and want to start therapy, but I really don't want my husband to find out that I'm going to a therapist. It'd just be too embarassing. Is that awful of me?

It is almost the end of the traditional school year 😅. What are your summer plans?

Anyone here who gets Botox? What alternatives did you consider? Do you regret it?
Early 30s M. Thinking of getting preventative treatment but slightly apprehensive that my face would end up looking stretched/weird.

How likely is it to be staffed on a DD in the ME region? I see they are quite rare and mostly concentrated on a few consulting firms, but would like your opinion

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

Underrated tech companies to work for? E.g. not FAANG.

What would be a typical salary for a junior in house counsel role (3 yoe) at a publicly traded company in a secondary market (think Austin, Tampa, Charlotte)? I’m having a really hard time finding what a reasonable range would be. Most positions I’m applying to require desired salary in the application, and the truth is I’d accept anything north of 125k but don’t want to undersell myself and take a bigger cut than necessary coming from biglaw.

Can anyone recommend an agency who specialise in both web design and SEO based content creation. Want to find a shop who do both together, well. Budget is under €80k

Looking for book recommendations on strategy/strategic thinking. Something along the lines of Contagious but open to any options. Thanks in advance!

Dialed in for an 8 AM call in which the only other person that dialed in was my Manager. The 2 others on my team didn't and Manager says we'll reschedule for 9. Why tf didn't we do that to begin with!

Was with a guy 3 yrs, took a short break when I moved to a diff city, he's with a new girl for 2 months now. Would I be considered a homewrecker if I told him I want to have a get back together convo?

Anyone know of recent graduate programs for software developer? Anyone willing to provide a referral? Experience: 1 year IOS app dev and 1.5 year computer vision engineer

All I want to do is curl up in bed with hot tea and a good book. Recommendations for if I ever achieve said dream?

Here's to Friday workdays!

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?

Any recommendations for a work desk?
Not looking for something too big or pricey. Easy assembly / disassembly is a plus.
I see foldable desks going for $100. Any foldable standing desks out there?

Anyone with psychologist partners or friends? Trying to help my wife figure out next steps in her career. Currently is a clinical psychologist seeing about 20 ppl/week for 120-130 dollars a person (she currently takes insurance). IMO this limits her overall earning potential. Trying to figure out if she could: drop insurance and charge more, scale out and build her own practice, and/or work more (could maybe see 26-28 ppl/week). Curious if anyone can share thoughts or brain power!

Have any of you transitioned from a software consulting role to a product owner role? What was that transition like?

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

How to deal with being rejected from a consulting job you want?

We've all been there (not just me I hope). It's so frustrating when the consulting one is a tough hill to climb. Has joining a smaller management consulting firm ever worked out for anyone?

I'd like to hope one day I could get into big 4 or even MBB.

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Any book recommendations for philosophy, psychology, and business? Or any book you read last year changed your values? Going to fly international, gonna read it on flight. 😍

Why is there not a size limit on the middle seat? I mean 6'4 240 isn't gonna fit.

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

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.
