I just started 'How to Fail at Almost Anything and Still Win Big". So far it's great - and super funny. I didn't realize when I bought it that the author is also the creator of the Dilbert comic strip.

Hi! I have been into reading self-help books lately. My current read is Atomic Habits by James Clear. So far, I am, loving it. Good read.

Spirited by Julie Cohen - enjoying it so far!

Hi! I am currently reading Educated by Tara Westover. My friend recommended it to me and I can see why.

I read Termination Shock and now reading Accidental Superpower. Termination shock was pretty cringe and the ending is just a total mess but interesting technical descriptions.

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?
