I was listening to a podcast today and they posed the question, "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" I love that mindset for life but also for work. So tell me, how would you answer that question?

Damn that would catch me off guard if I was asked it in an interview. Off the top of my head, I'd have to say skydiving. That was three years ago though, there has to be something I've tried for the first time since then. I'm just struggling to think of what.

I went to a hockey game for the first time a few weeks ago. I want to do more things for the first time!

I was first asked this question a few years ago, and it has had a surprisingly big impact on the way I live my life. I try to have a new answer to that question every few months. My current answer is a bit of a silly one; I did a wheelie on my bike for the first time last week 😂 Sometimes it's great to feel like a kid again. For work, I wouldn't know how to answer that question and I'm ok with that.

Yeah, for work we're always drawing on experience even if the application or situation is new. Very little is truly new for me at this point.

I've started asking my friends this. It's a great conversation topic!

Hi all, I’m currently a solution architect with 1yoe and two bachelors degrees. I also hold two cloud certifications and make 60k a year. This seems very low considering what I’ve seen for average SA salaries for those who hold the AWS SAA certification. Was hoping for some insight on this and if I should seek more compensation. Thanks!

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
