Happy Sunday everyone! The burnout levels of the tech industry are high and real. It asks you about your emotions and perceptions regarding your current job. My burnout index was MID. I made some changes to my career recently. I’m pretty sure it would have been high if I took it last year. Take the quiz and make sure you are taking care of yourself. ❤️ Best wishes, Veni Kunche

I wish recruiters stopped asking "What is your expected salary" My response "I gauge how serious a comp is about hiring me based on what they provide. I look forward to hearing what they are offering. You can share your range + I'll let you know if I'd continue this conversation"

The worst outcome of creating and sharing your work is that nobody cares but if someone does then you've succeeded. This imo, is the biggest reason to just go ahead, the downside is likely already there (nobody cares). You have nothing to lose.
