Hi Dave and Jamison, love the show and your advice, there\u2019s no podcast quite like yours out there in the audiosphere.

I\u2019m a long time listener, first time question asker.

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing a really good job lately. I\u2019ve had feedback from my manager and my managers-manager that I\u2019ve exceeded expectations and gone above and beyond over the last year. While the compliments are great to hear, I\u2019d like to approach my manager about a raise to go along with it. Do I wait until performance review time in three months and hope that I get a what I\u2019m hoping for, or bring it up now? How do I approach this conversation without sounding greedy, braggy and potentially asking for too much, leaving a bad impression when I\u2019m on such a roll?

I don\u2019t feel like I can keep up at work, \U0001f62c, my team is super clever, young and all singles. They spend weekends, evenings and spare time learning. We are introducing a new tool or framework every couple weeks and it is exhausting. I am constantly learning a lot from them and the projects always go really well. \U0001f937\u200d\u2642\ufe0f - I\u2019m not sure how to have a good conversation about it as they all love the learning culture. Any tips?
