United Club Card is pretty solid, mainly just use it for club access but the limit/rate/rewards are all good, as well. I see going to the club as a $15 value, so as long as I go 30 times in a year, I feel like I've covered the annual. If I could use my own card for business travel expenses, my answer might change.

Club works for me because it is cheaper than buying United Club directly. Of course for point the CSP or the Amex platinum are king

What are you looking for? Award Miles or perks? If it’s the former you should get the CSR, if it’s the latter you should get the United cards

The Firm will pay for your flights. Get a CC best for hotel points as you can use your personal CC for hotels.

If they hadn't capitalized firm, it would have been fine. I feel like it's relatively common for employees of consulting firms to refer to the company as "the firm". But capitalizing the F in firm makes it sound pretentious, as if everyone should know immediately which company they're referring to.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
