Worth getting a Marriott Rewards card if I already have a CSR? Thoughts, team?

Depends on where you are in your Marriott journey and if you care about things like lifetime status. The reserve card is generally accepted as being "better" than the Marriott card in terms of rewards, but you also get 15 elite nights a year, a free night certificate, and earn additional elite nights for every $3k. So in my personal case, I just hit lifetime gold and am working towards lifetime platinum as soon as possible since I don't think I'll be in consulting much longer. The Marriott card helps with that, but I only use it for Marriott spend at the moment. The sign on bonus of like 80k is also pretty good right now. As a general suggestion: good to have in your wallet, but probably not worth it to use for actual spend.

If looking for signup bonus SPG Amex is better as it's at 35k Starwood pts temporarily (=105k Marriott). Also consider the Ritz card as it has some premium benefits both Marriott and CSR don't have.

What BSC1 said. Good for pursuing lifetime status and yearly status. CSR better in all other aspects

While I did my internship at the high school level, My first two years teaching were at the elementary level, teaching bilingual/ESL. While it is a big change, I am very excited. What tips do you have

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?
