I'm a non-eng L5 and interested in learning coding to create and launch my personal projects and make it my hobby. I really like how quick you get feedback and see results when you code. My current role totally lacks it which frustrates me quite a bit.
I know some basics (HTML, SQL, Python, basic data structures and algorithms, some ML, etc.). What would be my best option? Should I look into some bootcamps? Which ones? I'd like to have a comprehensive foundation to execute projects end-to-end.

I’m a female CAD employee working for a US company. I was poached from a competitor a couple of years ago and was offered more than my male colleague (US based) at the time of the offer so my boss brought him up after the fact to ensure fairness. He started a couple weeks before me. Fast forward to now, and my male colleague and I are both being considered for promotions, with me getting a higher role based on my efforts/performance, but less pay in USD terms. Excuse was location is the factor..

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.

Do any carriers in Europe pay salaries equal to their American counterparts? I’ve found that the salary for my role is pretty much halved across the Atlantic.

I know that my company, Chubb, does and from time to time they have rotational programs where not only do you maintain your US salary but you also get COLA and a housing allowance, unfortunately nothing right now nor permanent.

Another option would be insurance companies that pay your American salary while working abroad.

Any leads?
