Episode 19: How to avoid getting lowballed on salary
While it felt like a big jump to me (almost double) I later learned that one of my peers on the same team who started 2 months before me and never had experience actually doing the job was offered $180,000 with a $10,000 sign-on bonus.

Episode 17: How I overcome imposter syndrome
The self-doubt creeped in and I wasn’t sure I was good enough for the role.

Inspiration is always helpful, but ultimately you need a small group of people you trust to share knowledge with and for everyone else promote an experimentation mindset from the beginning.
