Does it make a difference when you make a restaurant booking with your Amex plat assistant? Does the service go an extra mile? Love to hear the stories if any.

I don't think it matters and I don't think you can really depend on them to do too much, if you can't get a reservation yourself you can't necessarily depend on AmEx to do it for you.

Once a reservation has been made I really doubt whether the restaurant differentiates between how customers made their reservation.

Between the Saks/digital media/Uber and other rebates, 5x points, lounge access, and other deals through the app, it's not hard to get value from the card that exceeds the annual fee. I've been told that the concierge service is fantastic if you're traveling and lose your wallet, but for hotel reservations, it's a very minor perk.

Amex has preferred access to certain tables in some of the places I’ve been in.

Some higher end restaurants do hold tables for services like this. It is few and far between. Concierge has gotten me some hard reservations though.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

Last role was an engineering manager at 185k, 10% bonus, RSUs, paid healthcare.
The first offer was a bit underwhelming. I'm trying to think of creative ways to respond with a counter offer. Offer is 150k base with 10k bonus, no equity or stock, and insurance premiums are a bit expensive. Base and bonus are what I have to work with. Initial thoughts were to give a hard "no" and continue interviewing.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
