Would you pay $500 extra to upgrade your international economy flight to premium economy? American Airlines if that makes a difference.

No. Consider that for business, but I could use $75 of that for a post flight massage and the rest for another trip :)

Out of my own pocket? How long is the flight?

funny

7 hours absolutely not. Premium economy, especially on AA, isn't that great.

4+ hour flight? Sure. Anything less, pass

like

No definitely not. Premium economy is not that big of an upgrade.

If it was $500 for first class, I still wouldn’t personally, but I could definitely see people with more money justifying upgrading

like

I wouldn't for economy. For first class I'd do it if the flight was long and I thought I'd try to actually sleep. Full recline is worth a lot to me.

No man, premium economy is still economy dont fall for it!!!!

No. Paying 500 more for a 7nhour flight for another 3 inches of legroom, especially if you're asleep for much of it anyway.

PE on American has more legroom but is not that great and not worth $500 of my hard earned cash.

Premium economy, no. I feel like that section of the plane is a scam. If it was for first class then absolutely.

Hello - thinking of starting a small side coaching practice. Could use a bit of help because I've never thought about opening a side hustle but times are tough with two kids in college.

1. What is the best approach to collecting your fee? Each session? Pay the package cost upfront,? Other, and if so, what is it?
2. How do you collect it? Venmo? Credit card?
3. Do you have to register your business?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for. I have BS degree in healthcare professions and wanted to know if 40k is too low of salary to start off as a compliance officer for a pharmacy that provides discounted medications. My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.

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.
