You’re not really that close and Gold isn’t that worthwhile. Why bother doing a mileage run?

Does the CC help that much? I’d be surprised.

Delta Gold is basically worthless if you’re flying on Mondays and Thursdays. Rarely got upgraded at Gold aside from a few personal trips on weekends. The added value will come no where close to what it would likely cost you to get 14k MQMs.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
