@johnallsopp ๐Ÿ˜• Do they not feel confident asking for training budget? Or are they not being granted it in the first place?


@johnallsopp Totally agree. I tell juniors that “What’s the training budget?” is question to ask in interviews. Not getting straight answer = RED FLAG. ๐Ÿšฉ


@Malarkey It’s the accent.

Trapping the ideas that have been fluttering around your head, pinning them down on paper, and showing them to another human is very scary.


@gilmae I’m sure you’ll be very disappointed, what with all the tropical sunsets and piรฑa coladas and such.
