The plus there being that UA is a travel partner so points can be transferred 1:1 near instantly from Chase to UA

I would choose this combo:

- Southwest (the Priority version)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve
- Amex Platinum

I have all three.

I pay over $2000/yr in CC annual fees - most are justified. Not recommending anyone to do the same, but it works for me.

Amex Platinum is $550/yr.

Here are only a few of the benefits I used in 2019:

- $200 Uber credit
- $200 airline accidentals credit
- $100 Saks Fifth Ave credit
- Access to Centurion lounges
- Savings on Premium Economy tickets via Amex travel for Plat or Centurion card holders (saved $200 on one premium econ ticket alone vs best advertised price)
- 5x points on airline ticket purchases at 2 cents a point (they add up)
- $300 Cathay Pacific discount if you spend $1500+ at Cathay (which I did)

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!
