It is for me!

Depends on what you want to do. Recently my executive coach said — sometimes you can plan plan plan but at some point you have to just let life take its course. So if you like the role for now, take it or if you know a role you may want to have in the next 3-7 years then figure out what skills you need to obtain to get that “next next” role.

You can plan plan plan forever if you exit for prog mgt

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

I’m planning to accept a new position in the next couple of weeks, but I want to negotiate my salary. I’ve been a NP for about 5 years and have been making around $110k. How could I try to negotiate for $125k-130k?
