I’m currently an international student in the US. I’ve had a credit card in a US institution for over 2 years and my credit score is 780. I’ve never missed a payment and always pay fully. I’ve tried increasing the limit on my card to at least 10k (which are my monthly expenses), but the most the bank will do is 1.5K. Does anyone know what can I do to convince the bank that they can increase my credit card limit to that amount?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
