Dunning-Kruger effect is a serious problem. This is the reason deserving candidates get overlooked while less skilled ppl are rewarded.

Plot twist : OP suffers from Dunning Kruger

like

For the uninitiated (including myself): In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is.

Biggest skillset is how much you can lick your M/SM/P ass. Only people from these skillset can be rewarded.

But yea. I agree

I think it's only a problem if you frequently hire people who don't know what they're talking about, and that usually happens when you are at a company filled with people who don't know what they're talking about.

OP, I disagree with your premise. Being less or more skilled shouldn't determine promotion, accomplishment and results should. I think a lot of really smart people complain that less skilled people are promoted ahead of them, but maybe those less smart people are hard workers who accomplished a lot?

I am a career changer on mo 4 of a 6 mo sourcer/researcher contract that I’m not sure will be renewed due to team re-organizing.

I am looking for a perm, remote HR generalist or program manager position and getting no traction despite a well-reviewed resume. What do I do? Should I go to grad school?

What comp can we expect to target after 2 YOE? I’m not miserable in consulting but don’t think I get paid enough. With my promotion in a month, I’ll be hitting 100k and I want to only leave if I can get 110k or more (going for strategy, PM, and a few startup roles). Is that realistic? whens the best time to leave for max comp in the long term?

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.
