Currently have both the Amex platinum and chase sapphire reserve (just got the Amex). Thinking of dropping CSR. Would having both Amex Plat + Gold be a good combo for benefits (lounges, clear, global entry etc.) and points / rewards? (While not being an insane combo in terms of fees like CSR + Amex Plat would be).

Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love. Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated.
