What's the deal w The Gwen? Was is a Westin before the renovation? The removes awaiting renovation are pretty plain

Qn about SPG platinum breakfast amenity - is it valid only once during the stay or for each day? I'm told I can use it only once during the stay 🤷🏻‍♂️

Singapore hotel thoughts - JW seems nice and in a good location (Marina), St Regis seems slightly more luxurious perhaps but maybe not as good of a location and Westin has great views but is a Westin

Has anyone had Marriott gift you the next level of status if you’re only a few nights short of the requirement at end of year?

Are spg and spg points eventually going to get phased out due to merger?

Is there a reason to get the luxury SPG amex if I got the new Chase Marriott card like a month ago?

Any recommendations for a mattress? Cheaper the better (although I’d love the Sheraton, I can’t afford $$$$)

Was told I had to leave a Marriott hotel last night mid stay due to a fire alarm compliance issue. They credited 6k points and gave me a room at a nearby Marriott property for the night. Con’t...

Do you prefer the Westin San Francisco, or the JW Marriott for leisure travel ? or any other Marriott hotels in San Fran?

Ritz or JW in Cancun?

Best credit card for travel?!? And, why? Never really used airport lounges.

I have the Marriott Bonvoy, SW rewards and CSP.

What is everyone’s thoughts about Hilton? Just got asked to interview

Arrived at a SPG property last week and had email confirmation and booking in the app but hotel didn’t have it - manager blamed merger IT issues, anybody else experienced this recently?

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Anyone else not getting points / nights for recent Marriott stays? Account activity isn’t working in the app

Thinking of heading to Maui (for the first time) for thanksgiving and seeking recommendations for a hotel (considering Ritz but open to others) and things to do. TIA!!

Anyone else hearing from multiple WOC who had their Times Up RSVPs cancelled after the fact?

Will markets jump upwards the day Putin dies?

I feel I’m fairly compensated, but sometimes I feel like everyone else is making more

Would you guys change your PML (performance management leader) if she or he didn’t reach out during these times? I’m questioning how I should trust this person if an email from National is thought of as sufficient engagement?

Consultants, would you join the Fed is given the opportunity?

Anyone at Amex? Their interview process seems to be taking a very long time. Is this normal?

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

I think you're all OK even if all your beliefs are absolutely and terribly wrong.

I accept you even though your opinions are trash and reek of intellectual laziness and genuine idiocy.

Anyone relocated from Toronto to London recently (within the last 2 years or so)? My partner and I are contemplating the move...we want more diversity in our lives and want to work to live, not live to work as we do here in our respective consulting jobs. Folks who have made the switch, would you be open to sharing your experience? TIA

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.

I feel like an idiot. For the past 3 years (26yo now) I have been electing the traditional 401k instead of Roth. I get 25% taken out pretax each paycheck. Given that I’m more likely to have a higher salary (currently 100k now) and therefore be in a higher tax bracket by the time I retire, shouldn’t I have elected Roth this entire time? 😩

I feel stuck as a Strategy Manager and want to make a career pivot at 35. But have no idea what i should do? Any suggestions, resources or books that I should read to help with my existential mid thirties crisis? I have experience in technology consulting, corporate strategy, freelance consulting and law. Do I go back to being an Attorney, or do I retrain and become a financial advisor or something else?

Any recommendations for a mattress? Cheaper the better (although I’d love the Sheraton, I can’t afford $$$$)

Question - trying to figure out if my teams internally are trying to screw me on fees for a pitch. What’s the typical weekly run rate for HR due diligence on a manufacturing plant with a partial and potentially unionized employee base? Like from Mercer or any of the other big firms that do HR diligence? Just looking for a ballpark estimate

Thinking of dipping my toes into real estate and wanted to see if anyone has any books/ podcasts/ courses or even any tips or advice that you wish you had when you got started?

Goal is to diversify my investments past the stock market. Any help is appreciated!

Do you have any book/video/whatever recommendations for how to be a good manager/lead? I'm trying to make the transition and get more responsibility

Good consulting books? Not talking case prep but a fun read about the industry and what it takes to succeed, etc. Thank you!

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?
