Every year around now I feel that pressure to come back after the holidays with some big reset energy. New habits, new goals, new attitude like the last few weeks did not completely drain me. Part of me just wants to ease back in without pretending everything changed overnight. Is it really wrong to just focus on getting through the first week before worrying about reinventing yourself?

Hell no, it's not wrong. I think the holidays are rough for most people and the thought that we're just supposed to magically be ready to start fresh when we return to work is beyond insane. Take the time you need to refresh.

I plan on doing just that. Relax with the family and unwind.

Nothing wrong with that at all. I always find the whole "new year, new me" thing weird. You went to sleep one night and then woke up the next morning still you, still tired, still with the same empty bank account 😂 There is nothing magical about January 1st.

Not at all—taking it slow is perfectly fine. Getting through the first week is already a win, and real change doesn’t have to start with a grand reset.

I’m an SE who works 2 AE’s, and from looking at the market am on the bottom end of the pay scale. The company I work for has many different products/services (80+), so they wanted SEs to take on a local “SME” role in a specific area, to support other members of the team.

This role has ramped up quite a bit recently, and people have been coming to me for help with their deals (overviews, demos, POCs) which is increasing my workload.

How would you approach asking for more money here? Thanks!
