    I work for an all-remote company and I\\u2019m about to get promoted. The company says they target a salary increase of 5-10%. Assuming they come to me with an offer on the low-end (5-6%), what\\u2019s the best way to go about negotiating a higher raise during promotion? I want to stay at the company and also want the shiny new SENIOR job title, so I feel like I don\\u2019t have much leverage in this situation. Any advice is appreciated!

    Live coding makes me choke. As soon as someone else is watching, my brain immediately goes to mush and I\\u2019m like a chicken with my head cut off. Actually recently I learned it\\u2019s not just live coding \\u2013 it extends to live spreadsheet-making and live cooking as well! I guess I\\u2019m not into performing? Anyway, this has come up because it\\u2019s impacting my career in real ways. For interviews I offer to do takehomes, which I\\u2019m great at, but sometimes I\\u2019m told live coding is the standard they apply to all applicants. What\\u2019s a non-live coder to do?
