It's been almost 1.5 years, but time to dust off those scrolls. HoD season 2 starts on June 16.

Hi 🐠,

I have recently joined Infosys and they have put me in a project where I will be the only guy working in the team and the team lead is at the onsite location. Are such projects good? Because I haven’t worked like this anywhere before.

TIA :)

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).

In today's scenario what is the average pay for a senior software developer with yoe 6-8?? (Do not include companies like maang and similar companies). I want to know if I am in average salary slab or not. TIA.

My company is giving me a reimbursement while I go to school. It’s capped to induce me to study part time. I decided to go full time. Pay the difference out of pocket so I can graduate quicker. I have been working as a manufacturing engineer tech for 4 years without a degree but this May I will get my bachelors in Mechanical Eng. Currently making 63k a year, hourly. What should I ask for when I graduate? Living in Southern Pennsylvania.

Damon as a character vs. Jamie Lannister? They seem like somewhat analogous characters from the two shows. I feel like a lot of people want Damon to have a similar redemptive arc, but it doesn’t seem likely.

My thoughts are he’s just a generally bad person with some decent qualities. Jamie meanwhile was a generally good person who did many terrible things, especially when we met him.

I thought E1 set a solid foundation for the first season. What are your overall thoughts?

Anyone like Rhaenyra a lot more than Daenerys?

What a terrible episode. What happened to the tight storytelling? Here’s a list of head scratchers-
1. Wtf was that foot fetish scene for?!
2. Who tf is white worm and why does she care about children?
3. Very hard to believe that large houses with power and gold can be intimidated by a usurper with the threat of violence. If it were that easy, there would literally be no dissent.
4. A member of the kings guard murders a senior council member in cold blood?

I could go on but word limits..

Was anyone else surprised that there were only 10 dragons? The trailers made it seem like there were dozens.

Love the intensity of the ending, and the machinations of trying to kill off challenges to the throne.

Who’s ready for a big time jump in episode 3?

That episode was in true GOT fashion. 🤌🏼

The last episode was a snooze fest. After Daemon’s stupid storming of the caves, this was a new low in the series. 1 hour of literally nothing happening except sanctimonious virtue signaling and puzzling logic (Alicent is just forgiven for going behind her back and burrowing her way to Queen consort? Daemon just meekly listening to his brother after those theatrics/heroics in the previous episodes? The king suddenly realizing with perfect clarity how he’s been manipulated by his hand?).

Anyone else let down with the ending of episode 3?

I did not see that coming. I was convinced Viserys would croak at the finale, last 5 minutes.
