When you’re given a corporate Amex for expenses, do you actually use it? How much is the policy enforced? I wanna earn those points 😭

What do you mean do you actually use it? Actually what do you also mean by how much is the policy enforced?

I can’t speak for other firms, but if you’re at EY, don’t use a personal card for work expenses. Not worth it.

Depends on the firm you work for.. but, I use it for the items it’s required for (which isn’t everything) in order to make sure I’m reimbursed without significant delay/hassle. I’m signed up for Amex Rewards to get those points.

At Accenture I only use my personal card no difference in reimbursement and I can choose what card I want to use. I didn't like the amex gold card benefits.

My corporate Amex gives me 1x for everything, and we’re only allowed to use it for business expenses. Flip side is we get to keep the point. My personal cards give me way more points, so I use my personal cards

Do any real estate lawyers out there know of/can direct me to a ROFO agreement to purchase commercial property? I’m working on one now (but using a ROFO to purchase equity interests as a basis) and would like to see what other people are doing. Finding a good one has been hard, as this kind of thing isn’t always required to be filed with the sec and every search I’ve done basically pulls up garbage. Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
