I have SPG Amex and CSR, which will get me more points for use at SPG hotels in sheer $ value terms? I've been using the Amex, but given CSR's crazy travel geared points, wondering if I'm missing out

You can do a conversion from UR points to SPG points. 3 UR = 3 Marriott = 1 SPG point. So you're getting double value with Amex, just far less flexibility. There's also the Points Guys valuation, which would say CSR is more "value" per dollar

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
