"I've been able to 4X my annual income since my first job which, admittedly, was very low. The best part? I no longer take on additional freelance writing work. I can focus on my one job and make enough to feel secure without the safety blanket of freelancing. There were two major factors that led to the biggest jumps..."

"When I first started working for a Fortune 500 company straight out of college, the 18-year-old me still believed wholeheartedly in the saying "your work speaks for itself" only to realize that it's all a myth. I used to shy away from bureaucratic matters, focused solely on my work, and expected respect and credibility to follow. I was always there to help people, often going the extra mile to ensure their success. I thought people appreciated me as I was often the first to lend a helping hand on so many projects." Madhu Chavva, Vice President of Engineering, shares when the "scales fell" from her eyes and the important lessons she's learned about advocating for yourself. 👉 Read the full post: https://bit.ly/3TGUJPD

"Stay in touch even after rejections. If your interviews went well and you still like the company (remember, you’re interviewing them too!), it’s best to keep that door open. Regarding rejections, I think it’s important to remember that you don’t have any control over the other people they interview or the interviewers. You are qualified, and the only reason you didn’t get the role is that someone else did, and that’s okay, it’s not a reflection of you as a person."

"Growing up, my relationship with money was not good. While I learned that saving was important from what I saw from my mother, I never learned how to properly view and manage money. My mom and I never spoke about money, and as a single parent, she didn't teach me about investing, real estate, or other financial strategies because she herself hadn't learned those lessons."

If you have successfully achieved that aspect, how did you do it? 💰👉 Read the full breakdown here: https://bit.ly/4emmnJw

"I frequently compared the job search to dating. You would give so much of yourself to a potential job. You’d learn everything you could about them, share why you are such a good match for what they are looking for, and then be let down. Plus, it seemed like the only question I would receive from friends and family was, “How’s the job search going?”. You’d provide current opportunities, and when you couldn’t tell them you had advanced, it was awkward and disappointing for everyone." Sharon Bort shares the lessons learned from her long job search journey and how she landed a job in climate tech after a nine-month-long search. 👉 Read the full post: https://bit.ly/3XnfReI
