The idea of working with guests from all over the world was what drew me into hospitality. I love sitting at my desk and not knowing which language I'll have to use to talk to the person in front of me. I find it exhilarating.

I work for a major hotel chain that has hotels in every continent (besides Antarctica, of course) and we have a package of benefits which includes relocation to anywhere we want. It's not that straightforward but in general I can't wait until I get to that stage of the job!

I've always dreamed about managing a team, but a regular industry never caught my attention. When I interviewed for my first hotel job, I realized this was exactly what I needed due to the amount of people who work in a hotel. It just seemed so fun!

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
