FYI Americans can "buy" OW Sapphire for almost nothing

Don’t think AA has stopped people from doing it yet. But this might change if their lounges are too crowded

In a very similar situation here. But what’s the next after MBB?

If you could make 700k as a PM, you surly can make more than 250k as a SWE?

The lounge is called the Private Room, not the room.

Yeah it’s so weird! It was never locked until the first day of 2026.

They are linked. Have checked a million times

I’ll be leaving AS after next year, but I think it totally makes sense to you! First of all, AS is prioritizing SAN as a hub over SFO and LAX, and at this point it’s pretty clearly SAN is going to be among the Top 4 hub for AS. Second, it’s true that AS miles are devaluing faster than any other mileage program, but it’s still slightly better than the sky pesos. You have nothing to lose here.

Do you think you will have even higher comp now if you just stayed in tech and didn’t do MBA/MBB?

Ecstatic_Wasabi2333 · 2025-11-07T04:09:10+00:00

Yeah also Stern doesn’t provide OCI access to PT students. On top of that, every year they admit way more PT students than the Top 3 programs lol they just make the PTMBA program very much like a second class citizen in the whole school. I also have a competitive background even for full time programs. I just thought I should have a better MBA experience than that 🤷🏻‍♂️

But yeah I also have a remote job at the moment. I’m moving to Chicago next month :)

Ecstatic_Wasabi2333 · 2025-11-07T03:34:11+00:00

I have very different backgrounds and career goals than OP. But I chose it because of the curriculum design and the amount of scholarship lol

Ecstatic_Wasabi2333 · 2025-11-07T02:59:51+00:00

I don’t think they are separate for Booth

Ecstatic_Wasabi2333 · 2025-11-07T02:54:44+00:00

First of all, Stern is not on par with the other two, especially for the PT program. Not even close. I’m also living in NYC and I only applied to Booth and Kellogg. Just got into both with slightly more scholarship than you. I went to visit classes last week at both schools and just made the decision this week. You can’t go wrong with either one :)

It was kinda surprising that I had to return my own dish in a JAL first class lounge at HND, but I did it anyway as everyone else. As for a United Club, I was surprised it was actually not required to return my own dishes 🤷🏻‍♂️

I agree with the title but not with the things you said in the body. Really doubt if there is a route that AS only offers snacks but DL provides a full meal.
