Anyone else get a $200 statement credit to be used on Amex Travel w the Platinum? I have the Schwab card so didn’t get the Dell statement credit and just noticed the $200 credit. This is different than the usual stated benefit of $200 airline credit btw

Looking for a Delta rewards card and was going to go with Amex, but internationally Amex isn’t widely accepted and I already have the Gold. I’d like to replace my JetBlue Mastercard with a no foreign transaction fee Delta card (don’t mind a fee for the card). Is there a good Delta non-Amex option? Also, don’t have a card that’s big on travel rewards generally.

What are currently the best Canadian credit cards for travelers? Looking for Aeroplan or bonvoy points or companion tickets

Thank you so much!!!!!

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend, by 17th July. Seems there is a slight increase in Covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to allow me to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

Anyone else feeling extremely burned out? I can’t even bring myself to prep for my Wharton TBD tomorrow because I feel so worn out. Between work and all of these interviews… not to mention all of the essays I wrote before.

Does anyone else get super gassy during/ after flying?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Hi all,
I was made aware that I could work for consulting companies under a personal LLC and increase the pay received. My understanding is this is because I would have to pay my own insurance, benefits etc. Can anyone provide any additional details or literature on this?

Totally used to long days, but back-to-back 12-14 hours RIGHT after 2 weeks of bench is killer.
