What are your best tips for building well structured and good slides?
I really love good slides, but struggle making them on my own. Are there any sources of good examples? How did you get better at it?

If you struggle with the structure, chances are you're trying to put too much on one slide. Break down the story in small pieces, group them, order them and tell them slide by slide

Look into storyboarding trainings

Step 1. Buy a bunch of templates. You can get a thousand slides for about 10 bucks.
Step 2. Practice building content using those slides.
Step 3. Try building the same slides without the templates
Step 4. Be creative.

And the most important step:

Step 0. Work under an SM who has specific OCDs around PPTs.
These are 97.8% of client facing guys who are responsible for client communications.

I learnt that Step 0 not only taught me PPT skills, it has taught me humility, patience, appreciation for life, time, health, work life balance, importance of color palettes 🎨, icons design and usage, DIP - digital image processing, user experience, perceptual analysis among a few. It’s a walk-in-the-PPT park

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.
