- my responsibilities didn't change in years, kind of good because I am trying to be better with what I do

- salary grown slowly, my colleagues got way more than me

- I enjoy mentoring and leveling different team members, and also growing them and delegate task. It left me with so little (high level decision making) that I don't feel motivated enough for.

I don't know what exactly I am looking for. I am happy, I am not saying otherwise, but I feel that I need to grow my knowledge where I will be able to provide more value in future

the growth rate that I've been going through in the past few years is slow and I would like to learn more and be able to provide bigger value to the people/companies I work with

> Unfortunately I've never had a decent raise without changing jobs

unfortunate, but true in a lot of companies

it's a small company. We have 15 engineers working on few products

My advice is to join a large company (50,000+ employees) as they offer considerably more room for growth. Your career will go in unexpected directions thanks to all the options you’ll have. And you’ll make more money.

Depends what you enjoy. If you want to be a manager then yes. But if you prefer to stay technical, a small company often has a much nicer atmosphere and less bureaucratic rubbish.

Will anyone be willing to have a remote co-founder?

I have a feeling that I would need to travel and relocate to find a co-founder with a solid business idea

After covid sure, I have friends starting fully remote distributed startups over last few months

around 15% where I live

can you please provide more details? what did you study?

I have a masters in information science and work as a developer. The course work was not that different from my comp sci undergrad.

I've read that and MBA looks better than an MS. This is also interesting to me because I've been kicking around getting one or the other. MBA I guess is the route to go.

deeply depends on what you want to do with it and the knowledge you might acquire.

If you want to go towards the business and/or management side of things an MBA might make sense. But for a developer an MBA would be very strange on a CV.

How do you feel about Master in AI?

Looking at current technical advances, it seems like taking a masters in electronics engineering if you want to build apps.

Sure, it's well paid, it's great mental exercise, and good prestige. But it's fairly unlikely you'll be working in that field as opposed to just connecting to AI via an API. For personal development, yes. As a career move, probably not.

I work directly with a US company. 65k USD is a great salary if I compared it with local wages in non-tech fields but really an ok salary for my position. I have friends who got paid more

Money is important, but it's not my only motivation

Thanks!

I have a Mini-MBA from a popular business school. I feel that I have enough business skills from my mini-mba

I don't have a passive income but working on it
