This is correct.

How do you rationalize having CSR and Amex Platinum. To me it’s seems like you would have one or the other

I get having the card for a sign up bonus, I was wondering more about how you rationalize having both of them permanently in your wallet?

Do people not know that Amex gold is 4x points on dining and groceries? Way more useful than platinum, unless you can book your flights with your Amex each week

Chase freedom! Or BoA cash back card (2.6% back on everyday spend)

Flights on Amex (5x), food/going on on CSR (3x)

Neither. For general "everyday" spend there are better cards out there.

Hey folks, I'm getting an offer as a SC in EY UK. Presently I'm a manager with EY India (up for SM next yr Oct 2021). Comp is 55k range (haven't officially received the figure, a few more days it's expected, doing some homework before that).

How are you guys thinking about booking appointments for 1st time H1B stamping? Every time I open the site, there are no slots available for 2022. I’m sure majority of you have faced the same. Also, heard that some people have reached out to agents and got their booking done via them. Is that even a safe option? At this point of time, having being waiting for appointments for months, I wonder if there’s any other option ?

Are companies looking to hire more minorities and people who identify as LGBTQ+? I saw a post about a job listing for a Big 4 and it said it had a strong preference for people who identify as LGBTQ+ or a minority racial group.
