This is a question directed to people making an insane amount of money as senior or principal engineers, like 500k+. How do you continually get higher paying positions? What do you do that other people don’t do? I've been in this line of work for about 3 years now and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right things for the most career growth and success.

Not making 500+, my naive perspective says to change companies frequently, you’re not going to get double digit pay growth on an annual review (this info could be wrong)

Can someone give me insight on completing projects for interviews? I’ve interviewed for a very associate level role that pays ~65k. The interview went well but now they want me to not only do a SWOT analysis on the company as well as present for 45 minutes on a 4 person panel. I’ve done assessments before for interviews but this seems a little excessive based on the role (eCommerce specialist) and pay range. Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Brought it up today and was accused that the list was unfair they refuse and they dont have time because they must "work to subsidize your expenses"

Hi friends - need a suggestion. My mother got critically ill due to Covid and has been in the hospital in India for over a month with added complications. Hospital charges are through the roof and it is a long road ahead of us. Are there financial aids, options available to explore to meet the expenses? We are salaried people and parents are retired. We are exploring loan options and wanted to check with this group for other creative ways to manage. Thanks a lot for the help!
