Will IBM revise offer after accepting it ?
The shoe on the other foot

Wow. McKinsey, which has the biggest public sector presence of the MBB, really hasn't been doing too hot at all in the sector.
Its presence is tiny and it's gotten even smaller. Meanwhile it's bungling whatever opportunities it's getting.

Domestic: Economy exit row > comfort plus > first class
International: Business class using points
Domestic flights I get upgraded pretty frequently to premium but don’t mind getting stuck in economy, Europe I typically buy premium economy, Asia I spring for a lay flat seat
Always economy domestically at this point. It’s not worth paying 3-4x the cost for business and I have status on several airlines so I tend to get upgraded. I tend to fly business for overnight international flights but try to use miles or otherwise be smart about when I book for cost reasons.

Depends on the likelihood that I’ll have to work on the flight and the length of the flight. If over 3 hours or if I am sure have to work on the flight I’ll pay you $100-150/hour to upgrade to first. If I don’t have to work or it’s a short flight I do economy plus (usually exit row) though I’m a united golf member so I get it for free. If I had kids maybe this calculus would be different.

Domestic if longer than 3 hours, then biz or first (which is really biz). International, unless it’s Canada, always biz. I look at it as if I can’t afford the biz class, I can’t afford the trip, so I just don’t go. Amex points help a ton though.
For work, always economy or economy exit row. Although firm pays for premium economy, I don’t like to upgrade on their dime and my work trips are always shorter than 2 hours anyways.
