Yep. With age I’ve become numb to interviewing. At a certain point, one accepts their limitations and just tempers expectations. For me that means I interview often in order to bounce to the next best opportunity. I’ve grown numb to judgement and rejection from interviewers. I bring my best self to interviews but I don’t overly prepare. There have been times when I thought an interview went poorly and just chalked it up to interview experience, but then I received an offer of employment. Could have been my nothingtolose attitude or something I said that most interview rule-abiding people don’t say. You just never know. Go get ‘em, kid.

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
