About to do some spending (furnishing a house, new wardrobe), have decent credit score and don't have a credit card - should I get the CSP or something else? Not wanting to get an Amex.

CSR

like

Citi double cash back gets you 2% cash back on purchases.
I use that for spending that isn’t dining or travel (use CSR for those purchases).

Also a good card. If OP is going to be doing a good amount of spending in a short amount of time it might be better to grab a card with a compelling sign-up bonus tho!

CSR. No reason to really ever get the CSP.

Sounds like a plan SM1. I don't have any major travel plans in the coming year so I thought the CSR benefits weren't really useful (given the higher fee). Good to know I can upgrade

If you are doing a lot I’d get the chase freedom in conjunction with the preferred right now. The preferred has the better bonus, and the freedom gives 3 UR points per dollar spent. Then OP you can upgrade to the CSR if you will have a lot of travel spend.

You should be able to as long as you don’t exceed chase’s 5/24 rule (opened 5 cards within the last 24 months).

Thanks all, yes figured I'd go for something with a sign-up bonus

What’s the rationale behind not wanting an Amex?

haha ok guys. 😂😭

Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?
YOE: 4.5 Years
Tiger: 18L Fixed + 1L JB
