Career Talk: Learn - Grow - Thrive

What we talked about on this episode: 

This episode was inspired by a TT video I saw where someone shared their remote compensation, hybrid comp, and in-office comp expectations.

It was said they ask for $20k more for in-office jobs and the person dueting it seemed shocked. 

My response was good for them BUT that’s it? 

Let’s talk about it. 

Should you have different compensation expectations for a remote job vs a job you would be required to go into the office? 

For simple math.

Let’s say your hourly rate is $40/hour. 

Your commute: 

1 hour per day, 30 minutes each way.

$40 x 5 x 50 weeks per year 

= $10,000

15 miles each way, so that’s 30 miles per day round trip. 

30 x 5 x 50 = 7500 miles you’re putting on your car each year. 

The federal mileage rate right now is $.67/mile and at 7,500 miles we are looking at: 

$5,025

Time and mileage just for your commute is now at: 

$15,025 per year

Food: 

Buy lunch 2x a week and bring lunch 3x a week

$10, which is conservative for a meal these days 

$10 x 2 per week x 50 weeks per year

=1,000 extra on food 

Between commute and food, we are now at $16,025 

Clothes: 

Unless you can wear the same shit you can at home, in the office, you have to account for additional clothing expenses.

Let’s say $2,000 a year on the lowest end.

Now we are at $18,025 just in expenses for commute, food, and clothing.

We haven’t factored anything in for the inconvenience. These are simply expenses. 

Truly, do the math.

What makes sense? 

Hybrid = I’d do 75% of whatever the in-office number you come to is. 

If companies are hell-bent on getting people back into the office, awesome, compensate accordingly.

Being a lifelong learner is so critical in today's society.

We are surrounded by constant change and we have to be able to learn and adapt to those changes

If we think about jobs that used to be relevant but are no longer:

Dictonary.com

The provision or use of both formal and informal learning opportunities throughout people's lives in order to foster the continuous development and improvement of the knowledge and skills needed for employment and personal fulfillment

So it's not just going to school or attending college

It's a commitment to not stop learning

Benefits of being a lifelong learner:

How it can keep you relevant in your field:

Resources:

Create A Plan Of Action

Create a list of subjects/topics

Schedule time

Track status

Ask for accountability help if you need it

Use all your resources

Debrief - what went well / not well / change

Make it continuous

Notes: 

Dictonary.com

The persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own effort or skills

Imposter Syndrome is very prevalent in the workplace

The why isn't always going to be clear

Every person is a human, all humans think differently, have different pasts, different traumas, different work experiences, different school experiences, etc.

Signs of imposter syndrome:

What causes imposter syndrome?

A lot of things can cause us to get imposter syndrome

A few examples:

I've personally struggled with imposter syndrome many times.

Sometimes it's a phase of life that it something I had to work through for extended periods of time (Example - layoff )

Others it may pop up quickly and temporarily (Example - working on website)

How can imposter syndrome impact your career?
