Two best options- if you know which airline you want to transfer them to now, do it now (personally I’d do Delta). If you want to decide on which airline later, get a personal Amex card (if you don’t already have one) and transfer to that account.

There’s a 30% promo with Marriott Bonvoy so you should take advantage of that if you have a Bonvoy account

Horrible redemption, please don’t do this

Yeah several redemption promotions going on now. Alternatively you can open business Amex and park there for free.

Is 125k $ base a fair value for or I can pitch higher? They have a 15 to 20 % bonus on top of base pay and a 10% match on 401k which the recruiter keep highlighting.
