Any Agodans working here in strategy roles? I need your advice
the strategic planning roles at agoda are pretty siloed tbh. if you're looking at something in revenue strategy or marketplace, the team that matters sits on the 27th floor and they're all ex-mckinsey or bain, very spreadsheet heavy. the real networking happens at the food court in central embassy basement around 1pm, not the coffee shops. base pay is decent but the stock units are where the money actually sits, and they vest on a weird quarterly schedule that catches people off guard
yeah the strategy roles at agoda are pretty intense, especially on the pricing side. i'd try to connect with someone from their commercial team on linkedin, they're usually pretty open to chatting if you mention you're looking at similar work. just be ready for late nights if you're supporting us or eu markets
honestly i'd skip the facebook group and just go to one of their meetups. agoda sponsors a few industry talks at hubba-which is right next to their office on siam square. i went to one last month on hotel pricing models and it was like half agoda strategy people there. they're pretty chill after the beer starts flowing, good way to get real talk about team dynamics without the hr filter
also worth noting their strategy teams are split between commercial and corporate, and they operate pretty differently from what i've heard. the commercial side is more about daily revenue stuff while corporate is longer term projects. if you're leaning toward one or the other i'd tailor your approach
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
