I used to take red eye every Sunday night for almost a year. Guarantee upgrade.
I thought it was the norm coz I just came out of college, my first trip, was with a small firm and I’m by myself.
I was young so my body can handle it. And I was even excited about all the miles, hotel points, per diem, free meals and thought I was living the life.

Yeah. And it's long enough that you can get a half-decent sleep if you pass out right away.

I feel like this “winner” works at my firm... We publish stats internally for the number of red-eyes flown

No, moved to PE 2 years ago

I've done red eyes for 14 years every Sunday. Its better than dragging yourself up at 3am on a Monday.

Fresh out of college, I was based in NY, staffed in Europe for a year and would go to West Coast some weeks too. Probably took more than 60 red eyes

About to have a final round at Msft. I realized I never had a conversation with a recruiter (I was reached out to directly by a team member) to discuss logistical details (potential start date, relocation, salary expectations). It is fair for me to ask for that type of conversation before the final round, or does that seem presumptuous?
