What’s the most overrated travel tip you’ve ever tried? People always say, “Roll your clothes to save space,” but I swear my suitcase still fills up just as fast—and everything comes out just as wrinkled. I’ve also tried the “wear your heaviest items on the plane” trick, but sweating through a 10-hour flight in boots and a jacket wasn’t exactly worth the extra bag space. Are there any popular travel hacks you’ve tried that totally flopped? Or tips you think sound smart but don’t actually help?

How much should one get for 6+years of experience?

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.
