Hi fishes, I attempted an interview for software engineer post at Amdocs. I cleared the first round of interview and later contacted the recruiter for the same. The recruiter replied by saying they will let me know once panel will be available.
It’s been around 2 weeks I haven’t heard from the recruiter.
Can anyone guide me and help me with the same?

I think the points guy does calculations on this.

Delta reserve may be worth it if you have no status
I got the reserve since I do a ton of commuter flights so even though I was hitting the miles but not the MQDs I was only silver, so I did the card and got 150k miles and am now platinum. I am going to downgrade to keep the companion pass but I don't need the lounges for that price
I have it to keep status due to reduced travel - and I do love using the sky club - so I feel like I get the full value.
For me, the reserve is my go-to card because I live near a delta hub. It’s the only airline we use, so the companion pass, platinum medallion status for free upgrades, free bags, and lounge access make it worth it. If you’re not near a delta hub, the Amex Platinum is a better choice IMO
1. Definitely worth it for signup bonuses. These are one per card per person per lifetime. So choose your timing carefully.
2. I fly delta a lot so I always have at least a gold card for automatic zone 1 and free checked back. Platinum makes sense if you’ll use the annual free companion cert (good for 48 states), which can easily cover the additional annual fee. These are drawer cards for me, absent a special offer, I never spend on them.
Reserve makes sense if you want to maximize your delta status and get lounge access. I prefer to maximize my chase points and Hyatt status (hotels cost more than flights and I care more about status through the vacation than while en route to/fro).
VP1, the best there is IMO. Lots of detailed write ups on this, if you want to google around the main points/award travel sites. But I largely transfer to Hyatt and use there, as I get the most value (e.g., 25-35k pts/night to stay in $800-$2k/night hotels).
Depends on how often you fly Delta - personally, I’d recommend just getting the Platinum Amex card instead. You get more flexibility, a better welcome bonus, lounge access, and you can still transfer the points to Delta.
Not trying to sell you on the Platinum card, but if you want a referral code, let me know.
I have delta reserve and I think it’s worth it. While it’s not a card I use for every day spending, I use it for 1. Free lounge access 2. Increased priority (having the card automatically puts you higher than anyone else within the same medallion status as you) 3. Overall status boost when you first get the card
