Bc then why would you need to have the gold card too? Less $$ for Amex.

Simple. Gold and cobalt (the latter more so for millennials and early gen z) are aimed more at living and lifestyle with a more aggressive focus on daily categories so that you can earn points for travel.
The platinum was always a higher end work/ lifestyle card that was more designed to grant access and focus on categories that mattered to a slightly higher demographic (lounge accesses, invites by Amex, waived green fees for golf, travel perks, status etc.).
Many of the times they banked on you using the platinum for work and then taking them up on a discounted offer for a personal gold. That way you could really turbocharge your earnings on all fronts

PlatAm has to be paired with a points card tbh. I use it for the perks and use the chase unlimited for points.

Because platinum card owners have private chefs (/s, to be clear)

Platinum is more for perks/benefits than point accurual

Yes, but you don’t earn against the Gold Card rewards structure
Is 210k base for 12 yrs experience for EY Studio (Salesforce) Manager fair? Should i ask for more? Austin. Bonus they said was 5-20%. Currently 2nd yr M at Deloitte.
The key to being promoted (beyond capability) is to be likeable. To be likeable, you need to be relatable. To be relatable, you need to have a wide range of hobbies and interests and appeal to familiarity - eg have kids, watch sports, play golf, etc.
My net worth is 343k as a 26 year old. Why do i still feel behind? Current salary is 140k. Friends in tech have been making 190k-350k from college up until now.
