Start building meaningful relationships when you’re a staff. Not going to tons of networking events and passing out your card hundreds of times but build meaningful relationships with other peers, clients and referral sources. It takes years to build up a great working relationship but then the business just starts flowing in naturally.

Work hard at being excellent at the technical stuff as the baseline, while doing that be a source of positive energy to those around you. Every week find a way to serve someone around you that isn’t part of an existing task - it can be as simple as encouraging someone who had a tough day. Be a multiplier of success for others, invest in relationships with your team, your clients, your network and seek out ways you can add to others success. Remember that power works by division and influence works by multiplication, be a leader that drives influence. Lead remembering that the best leaders employ honesty, empathy and humility when making decisions. You will become a magnet for talent and new clients when they see you’re a multiplier of others success.

Find what you excel in and what differentiates you don’t worry about it at all it will fall into place if you are good

All of the above. I hit mandatory retirement on 6/30/21 after 25 years as a partner. Happy to have a live chat if you want to private message me your cell.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
