<p>I started my first job as a developer 2 months ago. My boss wants me to give talks at meetups and then later, conferences.</p>
<p>I have no idea what I can talk about as I am still very much learning.</p>
<p>How do I find a topic to research and work on so that I can deliver value to people listening to my talk?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>What are some things I can try to increase the scale of my annual raise or bonus? For example, if my company averages a 2% raise each year, but I really want a 3% raise this year, how might I go about it?</p>
