I seriously appreciate the help folks. They initially offered to just dry clean, but I effectively said "and?" so they offered 12k points. I expressed dismay based upon M1's benchmark and they sent a couple people to blow dry and iron in my room and increased to 24k pts. Kept pushing and eventually got the offer of sending up food, 30k points, dry cleaning and shipping. Thanks again!

Hi guys, wanted to know a little bit about the Post Merger Integration(PMI) team at KPMG Global Services.

Would be great if you can share about nature of projects, work life balance, travel etc.

Just finished my degree in managerial science and have a minor in marketing and a Sales certificate. Have had 4 different management jobs. Just accepted an opportunity as a district manager for an Insurance company. Not 100% sure about Commission-based only. Would love to manage in the sales world, and would love to travel on a weekly basis. Any advice or am I aiming for something unrealistic at the moment?

If you have to travel during COVID, it was helpful to have CLEAR. Less physical contact and don’t have to take off your mask. To confirm your identity stand in front of the screen to scan your eyes (with your mask on) and then scan your ticket with your phone.
