You won’t use it and no point to pay fees for now

Get the AmEx if it’s no fee and don’t sign up for membership rewards yet. Should you need to make business expenses, you shouldn’t have to go running to get an AmEx last minute.

Doesn’t each MBB firm pay the annual fee for the card?

You can get Amex green, gold, and platinum. The firm covers the green level annual fee, but there is still a 90 dollar per year charge to get the rewards. For the gold and platinum both the annual fee and rewards charge apply. Really my question should have asked which card, if any, should I get and should I signup for the rewards.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
