Had the Amex card for a while but I have no idea if points got accumulated or if I can take an additional personal card and link them to use the points. Thoughts?

You have to use your AmEx for all work expenses and can't use a personal card (like the CSR), unfortunately. It's probably only worth signing up for points if you're in commercial consulting. I'm not sure if federal or advisory people travel enough to spend the ~$10k needed to cover the fee.

Put it in your drawer and get the CSR

CSR?

You have to call to sign up for membership rewards. It's maybe $75-100/year (can't remember).

I'm in Commercial Consulting and spend about $1.5-3.0K per week depending on project/location/timing. My expenses last year was $100K (fully staffed), that's $1000 in points at least.

Hello amazing people. I currently work in CA as a HH RN and planning on relocating to MI in couple months.
I’m not sure about the most efficient way to proceed. Is it best to start as a travel HH RN? Do I apply directly with an agency that offers relocation benefits?….I have over 15 YOE, what’s the pay like in MI?
Thank you all for your help!

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
