How to gain an unfair advantage

Invest in yourself

I was asked “Are there specific steps we should take or any tips that could give us an unfair advantage?” the other day for an interview - apparently I answered this - which I’m quite proud of past Tash for coming up with 😹

Doodling out the curse of knowledge - and Woodstock and the teachers in snoopy kept coming into my head.. sprinkled a little covey quote on this as I love the “seek first to understand, then to be understood” chapter.

To do your job well you need... The serenity to accept the things you cannot change, courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference. On post it’s with a sharpie

been listening to @janethughes.bsky.social future farming podcast while looking for examples of policy design, ep5 with Sarah Evered delivered the goods, I then tootled off to read more, along with a great blog on being bold, I found this brilliant answer to the Q “to do your job well you need…”

Talking through research and value

The salary man thinking about it

Saying it’s complicated

The positive thing… things are changing, I link #showTheSalary much less in comments on LinkedIn as pay bands are shared more transparently… but there’s still a lot coming out with nothing an expectation that you state what you think your worth…

Salary man says but it’s exciting mystery

You may have done the salary dance, it’s not fair and it’s not def not something that would get a 10 out of 10 on strictly.

I found out…repeatedly different moves you could pull-like negotiating?! It never occurred to me-however it did to several peers who came in way over me in💰for same role

“Different listeners - listen differently” simple but very true Beth Rafulski ‘autistic autism researcher’ stated this, it joined some dots in my mind
