This first part of the year always seems to drag on with no holidays or vacation to look forward to (we don’t get MLK Jr day off). What do you do to push through until later in the year?

As I think about it, I don't really care very much about days off at this time of year. The weather is lousy, the daylight hours are still pretty short, it's not like I'd be outside doing anything fun anyway. So I'm mostly content to work away, and just let the days go by. Once the nice weather starts to make itself know I'll be looking forward to some time off, I'm sure of that.

Me too! I was one of the few people in my department to come to work on 1/2 after the new year. Someone asked me, why? Well, because I would rather use my PTO for warm summer days and enjoy the sunshine.

Hi everybody.
Right now I’m working as a junior product engineer in Amsterdam. From januari on I’ll be a medior product engineer. And now I’m in the middle of negotiating about my salary increase. The salary that I’m being offered feels low (41.5k).
Is there an other product engineer that could tell me if my gut feeling is right or not? Thanks in advance!

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Thoughts?
