The new programmers at my company all seem to learn much faster than I do. I have a decade of experience, am I going to fall behind?

Comparison is the enemy. Keep putting in quality work and don't worry about what's going on with them. I don't see you losing value with a decade of experience under your belt already.

You'll only fall behind if you stop progressing. As long as you're putting effort into staying ahead and dedicating the time, you'll be fine.

I've been right where you are. I ended up doing a lot of extra studying on the side. It was exhausting for a while but worth it in the end.

A guy that I’ve been seeing over the past few months just lost his job - what can I do to support him? Not his SO and we are quarantining with our respective families on opposite coasts, but I like him a lot and want to show that I care without being overbearing/overstepping boundaries. BTW he’s also a consultant and got let go after reviews due to performance reasons and his firm not doing so well.

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?
