Episode 289: Sharing wisdom nicely and too many raises?

<p>In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Hey guys, a long time listener here, I love the show.</p> <p>I’ve recently joined an early-stage startup with a tiny engineering team. It’s like most startups at this stage, there’s some chaos and a lot to figure out. It’s exactly what I like about startups.</p> <p>In the past years, I’ve been working on the very same kind of software we’re building now. I have a ready answer for many questions we might have, I’ve seen some things go badly and others work great. I’m eager to help the team deliver.</p> <p>But I also don’t want to be seen as the know-it-all jerk that tells everyone how to do their job. I have respect for my team and want to contribute. How do I use my experience without annoying my colleagues?</p> <p>Thanks for sharing your wisdom (I hope for 101% of it).</p> </li> <li> <p>Listener Andy asks,</p> <p>I moved to company A and it’s been 6 months I am constantly getting interview requests, Gave an interview and got a 30% rise moved to Company B, Now within 6 months the same thing happened, Gave an interview at Company C and got the job with 30% raise. what should I do? will it affect my long term career growth</p> </li> </ol>
