I have CSR for the bonus points. Do y’all think the Amex Platinum is also a good choice for their large sign-up offer and benefits? I travel a bunch usually and expect to start again in the near future (hopefully)

Get it for one year for the sign up bonus (worth more than the annual fee year one), tally up how much actual not nominal value you get from the benefits, if it isn't $800 or whatever it costs now then when the next annual fee posts chat or call and ask to cancel the card and they might give you a credit to keep it another year, then get rid of it the following year if you still don't like it.

Amex gives great retention offers. I recently got 40k points for spending $3k on my Platinum and 30k points on my Gold for just keeping it open.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
