How hard is it to break into product management as a consultant? Received an offer from amex, but not sure if I love the product/scope of work

Should I just take it for 1 year of pm experience?

Good Day Fishes,

Need your honest opinion. I am currently working in fraud at AmEx. Previously working at RBS.

Suppose, I up skill myself with python, R, SQL, Tableau and the likes. What are the chances of getting into a good data analysis role and what could be the expected pay.

YoE - 20 months +
Current CTC - 5LPA

Trying to ascertain the scope and opportunity.

Thinking to get a card just for Marriott spending (almost weekly Marriot stays) -- Chase Boundless or AMEX Brilliant? Or should I use a non Marriott branded card? (CSP or CSR, Venture X) Thoughts?

Why is Amex compensation so low? A director level at their internal strategy group seems to have 170k as the base, with low bonus?

I’m interested in getting a new credit card. For reference, I am currently using Discover. I’m interested in AMEX. Any pros and cons would be greatly appreciated! Open to other recommendations, too

Currently have an Amex Gold and got an offer to upgrade to Amex Platinum with a 100k bonus for $6k spend in 6 months and a $150 statement credit. Worth it?

I have a way to cash out the Amex Platinum/Green CLEAR credit for essentially a statement credit. If anyone would like to split this, DM me!

Should I get the Gold AmEx? Any other cards with comparable rewards that focus on groceries and dining out that you’d consider to be better?

Will Amex let me get a second Hilton card bonus?

Currently have the no annual fee card. Would like to apply for a different Hilton card with better status and earning rates, but not sure if I'd qualify for the bonus...

Any good bonuses on credit cards right now? (Jan 2022)

Already have Chase Freedom, Amazon (Chase), US Bank Cash+ Discover, AMEX, Wells Fargo 1.5%, all used for different expenditures to maximize cash back.

Thinking about getting the Wells Fargo 2% and closing the Wells Fargo 1.5%, and any others that overlap in cash back categories but at a lower rate.

Anyone interviewed for the AMEX SPG (Strategic planning group) Senior Manager Position? Would appreciate any insight into the interview process. The only guidance I have from HR is 1 technical and 1 behavioral interview each 45 min long.

I have to cancel my trip because of new COVID restrictions, but the airline refuses to refund $500 of each of our (me+partner’s) tickets, so a total of $1000.

I paid with my AMEX gold. Can I use their travel insurance to recuperate these cancellation fees?

AMEX gold of Chase preferred for car rentals?

Need some advice. I’m grandfathered into the old Mariott Amex card that has a fee of $95 and gives a 35k certificate annually. The certificate is useless now and so I don’t use the card. What should I do? Can I downgrade to a different no fee Amex without hurting my credit? Or is there a good mariott Amex available rn?

Does anybody have any opinion on if I should apply for new positions via LinkedIn with Easy Apply or to apply directly on website? thinking about this in the context of jobs like doordash, consulting, amex, uber. etc. Thanks all!

Does AmEx take codility test for hiring? Anyone who can share some insights?

Planning for a honeymoon and we have about 450K Amex points and 850K Marriott points. Any recommendations on how to optimize the points for travel and lodging? Thinking Maldives and Dubai currently but also open to other suggestions. Thank you!!

Amex Gold vs Chase Sapphire preffered? Top reasons for your pick?

I remember seeing some AMEX personal card benefits if you have a corporate Card, can someone point me in the right direction??

Amex Blue Cash Preferred - does it not recognize Instacart as groceries anymore? Had a purchase in December and got 1% cashback instead of 6%. What other card can I use for Instacart?

If I have the Amex Platinum and Delta Reserve, can I get myself and another in the Delta Sky Club for free?

Anyone had luck with Amex honoring an offer for a purchase that didn’t go through until a few hours after the expiration of said offer? Ordered online but purchase didn’t post until several hours later including email receipt. Thanks in advance!

How easy is it to get a transfer from one Amex office to another. For eg - from Delhi to Blr.

Personal vs company card. Founded a small startup, currently using my CSR card for business expenses, but debating getting a company card (e.g. Amex or other). The points on the CSR are relatively valuable however. Anyone make a similar choice either way? What are the benefits of getting a separate company card?

Amex Platinum sent me a 150k sign up bonus offer to my apartment. Now I’m back at my moms quarantining with covid and could really use some retail therapy. Any idea how to get that offer over the phone? Can you call themv

Created a new budget to hit a savings goal for 2022. Any tips to help stick to the budget? I generally buy everything on Amex and then pay a direct debit each month. The points are great but I can’t track expenses well. Any help is much appreciated.

Best Credit card to pair with Amex Gold? Looking to add new ones to compliment it well. Possibly good travel ones too.

Thinking about dropping Amex plat. Don’t see the value of this card at $700 AF.

Is venture x the move? I really liked my CSR, but sign up bonus is only $50K right now.

Primary spend on food, dining etc. Less travel these days since I’ve left consulting, but still looking for a premium credit card…

Options are

1) Keep Amex plat ($550AF with my corp amex)

2) downgrade amex plat to gold ($100AF); get venture x / csr if 100k bonus is back / some other travel card

Anything i’m missing?

Which Amex would you prefer: Hilton or Marriott? Why?

Unfortunately I have tested positive for COVID and was due to go to a NYE event. The ticket cost $250 and was charged to my AMEX Gold card. Does anyone know if insurance kicks in somehow? Or any other suggestions for how to recover the ticket price?

Best credit card in the UK? Amex is pretty self explanatory, but what about for non-Amex purchases?

Any credit card recommendations for travel? Currently based in Chicago, so Amex may not be the the best option since ORD isn’t a Delta Hub. Thank you!

Csr or Amex platinum?

Anyone who has secured Amex credit card in UK based on history in another country? Can I provide my hotel/friend's address? What can I provide in residence proof?

Why is AMEX the go to corporate card?
