What’s the min $/night room you’d book using Hilton and Bonvoy points respectively to get the most value?

How many years have you been in consulting, and how many flights have you missed? For me, 3 years and 2 flights. Technically missed several other flights as well but they weren’t a big deal (next flight took off in an hour and I still got there before anyone else) or were on purpose (called delta and asked to be transferred to the next flight because I wanted to sleep in more). 2 flights that were actually an issue - final answer.

Anyone have an extra 60k Bonvoy points to sell?

New to New England. Any recommendations for fun in and out of Boston?

Has anyone been to the Martinique or St.Lucia? If so, any Rec?

Maybe a noob points question but if I booked two rooms for four nights and had added my Marriott Bonvoy number for both, do I get 8 nights in total or only 4? Trying to reach platinum this year and will get there if I get the 8!

Does getting upgraded at ritz properties ever happen if booking on points? I’m assuming no since they do not accept suite nights but would calling ahead to inquire help?

Emailed Marriott in August regarding missing points. They just responded today 🙃

What would be a good international travel destination on the way to India from US? w.r.t. relatively easy visa, travel/quarantine restrictions. Planning for a trip in February (fingers crossed)! TIA

Best way to get from Paris to nice roundtrip, trains are about $200 which is steep

Any insights on Keeper Security?
Would appreciate any info on the company and what it’s like working there

Why do the big four keep hiring college students aggressively then fire them after a year for having low utilization. Why not just hire the amount you can actually staff

Hi guys! I had an interview last Saturday with the CEO for an EA role (that was the 3rd interview). The company rushed the process for me because they knew I had another offer. The first 2 interviews went extremely well that’s why they rushed & asked the ceo to interview me on a Sat. morning. Huge common point: The CEO and I are both French. The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️

Hey 👋 at what age is considered young to make partner?

Currently an MBA1 student that broke into MM PE Ops for the summer. Do I have room to switch from PE Ops to the investing side, negotiate for a VP title or move to a megafund? Is any more likely than the other? H/S student if that helps.

Interviewing for a strategy associate role, with 4 years of consulting experience. What should I expect in terms of salary? Wasn’t brought up in the phone screen or the first round interview.

Do Experienced hires typically get a signing bonus? Specifically, if you are 1-2 years post-mba, might you get a similar signing (eg $35k+) as MBA hires?

Can I realistically find a Studio/1BR for max $3k in Manhattan? What neighborhoods are realistic?

Does anyone have experience switching to another big 4 as a tax manager? Did your old firm terminate your employment immediately? If yes, did you still get paid for your notice period? Was planning to give 2 weeks notice, but if there’s a chance they terminate me immediately I’ll only give one week.

I'm coming to a conclusion that 40 hours/week is not a good balance. Maybe for me. I left consulting only to go back to an MSP, but I am reaching burnout again. In the last few years, I came to the conclusion that working 32 hours/week would work a lot better for life balance. Is there any opportunities like this out there that include benefits?

In product management do you think it's better to sit back and wait for your skills to get you a promotion, or pursue it and ask for it?

How do companies get categorized when it comes to CC companies (i.e. shopping, dining, travel, etc)? For example, I made a few payments to a travel company but Chase isn’t marking it as travel and therefore I’m receiving less points than I thought I would. Anyone have insight on this?

I have the Chase Rapid Reward card and gave 90k points saved up on Southwest over the years but I’ve stopped flying with them (haven’t flown in general due to pandemic).

Looking for Venture X referral. Anyone willing to split the ref bonus. Thanks

What’s my best bet for a new credit card in 2023 to help with delta status? I have CsR right now but willing to give up and become a member on my husbands CsR. I researched the Amex delta platinum card and idk it didn’t seem that lucrative to help with status :(
Pre Covid, I always had platinum or Diamond and kept it through 2022 but I’m now going to be silver in 2023 sadly.

Hiii sorry if this is a stupid question, but does the incidental credit / hotel credit renew every calendar year, regardless of how long you’ve had the card? Ie if I open now, use the 200$ in 2022, do I get it again 1/1/23? I know the website says calendar but idk it feels like I’m cheating hahaha

The next time that you are considering asking for points for smallest mistakes of HK, just think how you'd feel if your client reports your small mistakes to your partner and ask for discount

Thanks for all the consulting travel pre covid. Used 120 miles for business class from sf to Japan for next fall. Now praying it’s open and things back to normal
