Why do you consult? Because It’s God’s chosen profession? Because it’s better to be upper middle class than anything else? Because you’re passionate about the art of recommending real world strategies that came to you in a Hilton night excel fever dream? Because after graduating from a big name school consulting is the best opportunity to continue your panicky need to be validated by letters?

Looking to spurge all of my Marriott points for honeymoon. Which international property would everyone recommend?

Has anyone traveled to Switzerland and used Marriott points? Best area to stay? Traveling with a total of 3 and only hotels in Zurich allow for free stays with only points as others charge extra

Thoughts on the Sheraton Kauai? I’m considering the offer they sent. Is Kauai a nice island?

I got bumped back to platinum elite on both Marriott and SPG.. after being gold for a few months now (have been on a local project for a year now)
Strange.

Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

Was forced to take a cold shower this morning at a Marriott. How many points?

Best cash-equivalent conversion of UA miles, Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt points?

I’m personally a no frills traveler (hostels, economy etc) and have way too many of each...

SPG points to be used in January for vacation. Planning on going to Maldives. Is it worth it? Also, are there any other places around that area during January that I can make use of my SPG points?

Justifying the Sheraton's painful bed to yourself because the Four Seasons don't recognize your loyalty

Does it matter when you check in online for a hotel in terms of getting an upgrade? I'm a titanium elite Marriott bonvoy member looking for upgrades at Westin and Ritz in a couple of days. Any tips on getting an upgrade?

Any Marriott/Hyatt recommendations for Mexico City? First time there as a tourist and want a nice, convenient hotel for food + sight seeing. TIA!

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

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.

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

Does anyone happen to know the PwC discount codes for Hilton and Marriott hotels...asking for a friend

Will my lifetime SPG nights and lifetime Marriott nights get combined in the new Marriott program?

Also, what kind of insurance do you take out as a freelancer?

Thanks in advance!

What is the best advice you would give to a junior account manager?

How much do VPs at Summit or TA make?

Anyone maintain real estate license on the side? If yes, which broker is a good one to associate with of the ones with all these crazy commission models?

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?

I hate daylight saving time! That’s it for my rant. Have a great day everyone!

How do you make side moneys? Any apps or websites that would allow me to do work online and get paid? Thinking about bookkeeping gigs or something similar.

Hi folks, I just want to know the chennai branches for Citi. Specially in OMR exactly where do we have Citi offices?

Has anyone experienced difficulties with speech/thinking through taking anti-depressants or from suffering with long term depression? I first started noticing difficulties in articulating my thoughts at university and my career in consulting has only made this more prominent. I feel embarrassed, really depressed and incompetent because of this. This is one of the greatest anxieties I have regarding my performance and I find it is really effecting my development.

UBER & LYFT puts tomorrow?

Where do you keep your non-library original components in Figma? Do you put them to the side outside of a working frame, within its own “Components” page (like Sketch does for Symbols), or do you keep the original directly inside of one of your layouts?

Any requirements for AEM developersin your organization, please reply in comments?

Several years ago a gay male acquaintance said he didn't date Black guys. It made me bristle but I was not surprised. Now he's married to one. I feel in a way vindicated every time I see his loving social media posts with his Black husband of like 5 years or so now.

How did he get over his apparent aversion to Black men enough to go and marry one? Where would he be if he hadn't had a change of heart?

I wish there were a tactful way to remind him he said that and watch as he eats his words...

Used to think I was independent and stoic enough to not care about dating & relationships, and then I realized it'd be really nice to share my time and energy with someone. Now I'm balding in my late 20s, living alone, and only really get to see my family. Online dating is a wash and feels like an incredible waste of time.

Hopefully lockdown lifts soon enough for me to meet someone before the rest of my hair goes. Baldness will not suit me well.

I’m never satisfied with what I have and it makes me feel like sh*t because I know I’m so fortunate to have what I what have

Does anyone remember in grade school when one of the assignments was during the time scientists announced Pluto was not a planet and some teachers had us write essays and whether Pluto should or shouldn’t be a planet using so scientific based arguments? I panicked daily about the state of our education system in America.

Anyone else who watches Yellowstone think Monica SUCKS? Also why is Beth the only one who announces her age all the time.

If you’re an MD that lives in Houston and someone just left a chat with you… fix it here 🙋🏻‍♀️

Buzz Chat is a mindset

Did anyone complete NNN?

So physically and mentally tired, I don't know how long I can keep up with work anymore. Told my senior management that I'm burning out, only to be blessed with another secondment. I now have two going at the same time, plus other client work, new business work, and managing scroundels.

How does one deal with a manager who always thinks negative of people and never has anything nice to say about anyone? When I first met her she was really cool. Promoted me,and then became a completely different person.

I was tired of asking people to go to concerts with me so I booked 5 of them to go by myself, starting next month. Hope I’m gonna have a blast

Noticing that a lot of women I’ve dated have had physically or emotionally abusive fathers....if I had to guess about 20%?

Is this out of line statistically or am I doing something to attract this? Not complaining btw (except for 1, they’ve all been great and happened to confide this information)

My current life situation has really brought my self esteem down and this quarantine makes it even worse. How do you lift yourself up when you feel low? I feel like I really want some validation that I’m attractive from someone but have never ever felt the need for it my whole life

I was about to talk trash about my truck driving friends and blame them for my heatwave related problems. Then I remembered that I drive an SUV, not zero emission, and I'm not doing much better for the environment than they are. I'll just ask them what if the climate change believers are right and see what they say.

Question for those who are married or about to be : how did you know he/she was the one? And how long did it take you to realize it?

How old were you when you first took a blue pill/viagra? Currently 26 and a buddy doesn’t stop raving about it, tempted but feels too young to try?
