Sorry. Didn’t mean to post. 2) booking reservations at the start of the project (e.g., this hotel for the next 10 weeks m-th). More often, the real value is when she surprises me (gifts in the mail, etc)

When you book award travel they hook it up. Def not worthless.

Definitely not worthless — traveling throughout Europe and MENA I literally would text or email my ambassador to find the cheapest hotel across a set # of SPG codes, book it, and for recommendations for xyz in the area. I had them set up my GF 30th in Dubai, surprise with balloons, champagne, all while we were at pool. Even in US, I would get list of hotels in SF emailed to me.

In short, if you only “travel” for work and have pretty basis schedule outside of that you may not see the benefit.

Hello all!

I’m a MSN, RN with 7 years of critical care nursing experience (ICU/PACU). Prior to becoming a nurse, I was a Medical Service Corps officer in the US Army for 8 years. I have my BSN/MSN and a non-nursing MA.
I’m interested in shifting gears to healthcare consulting. I’ve heard great things about Chartis and would love to hear more, specifically with regards to nurses making the jump. Can anyone offer insight or any other consulting firm they recommend?
Thank you in advance!

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
