I shouldn’t use it because technically there’s a line about the accomplishment on my resume

Remove the line from your resume? 😂

Got a fat cat who has a timed/measured feeder. Still gaining weight. We were all stumped. Turns out my cattle dog shares her food with the cat every morning. Someone recommended a water spritz to get him away from the food. I basically soaked him for a few minutes while he stared at me and continued eating. Looks like I'll have to lock him up while the dogs eat from now on.

I'm a Senior SE I. My team is hiring for a Staff SE, which is 2 levels above me. I want to apply but my boss' boss said I'd have to be a Senior II first. I told my manager it'd take the new hire at least 6 months to learn about the system, which I'd help them with that, so I'd work at the Staff level without being paid for it. My boss said he'd bring it up with his boss.

I just got an off cycle raise this month, and I don't want to sound greedy. How'd I counter if I was declined again?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
