Hello everyone! Happy hump day! We’re on the fast track to the weekend now! Yay! Although I do love my job too so I am very lucky! However - I haven’t had a pay rise for over 4 years and with all the cost of living going up I need to re- think my options. People keep telling me it’s an employees market out there and you can command what you want - but I’ve been asking for years and they won’t budge. any advice? I manage design in the company and I am a line manager- what should I be on?

If you haven’t gotten a pay raise in 4 years then there isn’t much advice other than to interview elsewhere. That will either show you your true market value, or it will give you leverage in negotiating a pay raise if you do get another offer.

Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:
1. For the RRK2 case study if there is a scenario for handling peak time workloads where the client did a lift & shift of a monolithic architecture, is the best suggestion to move them to micro services to enable serverless and auto scaling features?
2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google

While I appreciate their honesty, I feel like they consider me severely indebted to them that they hired me mid pandemic and “allow” me to work from home.
