My wife got a 125k point Amex Platinum offer. I have CSR and trying to figure out if it makes sense for her to get this card? The only perks we wouldn’t use is the equinox membership. Only other card she has is Delta platinum, which pays for itself with the companion pass.

Probably not worth it since you already have lounge access with the delta card. For me that’s the trigger that makes it somewhat worth it still.

If you use all Amex perks other than equinox, you make your money back and more. I’d say sign up for it for a year or two and then downgrade

For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
