It’s wild how much our mindset can shift over time.

I used to think that working for a cause I was passionate about would make up for a low salary and weak benefits. Nope! There comes a place in most employees' lives where they feel bitter about being underpaid and under-recognized. It's inevitable even if you care about the *cause*

I used to think loyalty meant stability, like sticking it out at one place meant I would be rewarded eventually. But I quickly learned the system moves slow and you have to make yourself visible. And I'm open to new opportunities if it's the right fit.

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday.

This would be a permanent full-time compared to my current contractor role that ends in March.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?

I’m looking for a new job, working remotely, that doesn’t require a Bachelor’s. (I’m currently going back to school to get one, as I only have an Associate’s in Mathematics right now)
I had positions in private sector that allowed me to supplement having a degree with experience but not in public sector. I’ve seen coworkers get positions they aren’t able to do simply because they have a degree and then leave a mess for me to clean up but I’m not allowed to have the position. Any suggestions?
