Would love advice from points pros on what’s the best option here:

Some background:
CSR user and currently sitting on around 900k points
Moved out of NYC to a small town years ago so the additional benefits don’t impact me (DoorDash, Lyft, etc)
Don’t typically book hotels when I travel (stay with friends) but I do utilize Priority Pass and my Global Entry benefits
Also cheap AF so not interested in spending $1k/night on hotels or flying biz for a 7 hour flight, unless it’s truly a bargain.

Reading posts here it seems as engineers in the US get's atleast $100k, people with 4-5 YOE in SWE seems to have ~$250K. Working in Sweden my base pay is $50k, bonus per year of $5k and I usually have to work overtime making my salary in total at a maximum $70k. I have 4 YOE and also work as SWE. Sweden has a insanely high tax rate (employee tax is 33% below 56k, 50% over $56k). There's also employers tax, and highly taxed fuels, food, clothes, which ends up in total paying around in 80% tax.
