What he learned in the process inspired him to develop an "immerse interviewing" strategy, complete with rating emotional quotient (EQ)and ranking 80 skills.

Even as a 16-year-old, I had a sense that I would one day return and that it was where I belonged.

When it comes to earning a living, you might want to be more like Elon. There are some strategy lessons to be learned from the world's richest man, who just won a pay package worth up to $1 trillion at Tesla - even for those of us whose paychecks come with fewer zeros. Of course, most people can't go work at their rocket company if their promotion or job offer doesn't come through.
Being asked to apply for a promotion is often framed as an unqualified win: validation that your work is seen and your potential recognized. Yet for many high-achieving professionals, that invitation can spark as much ambivalence as excitement. Because the question isn't only "Can I do this?" It's also "Do I want to live this way?" Promotions can be career accelerators, but they also reconfigure your days, your priorities, and your sense of balance.
Jamaican prime minister Andrew Holness has said last week's Hurricane Melissa, the strongest-ever storm to hit the country's shores, caused damage to homes and key infrastructure equivalent to roughly 28% to 32% of last year's gross domestic product.

A safe anchor point for many senior engineers has always been technical mastery. You see a problem. You design some architecture. You work in a team to crank out some code. You build a complicated system, roll it out at scale, rinse and repeat. This is a happy place for many engineers. Naturally, you think in order to progress, the journey should in theory look something like this. You expect to be rewarded as you take on more technically challenging problems, climbing the ladder.
The first time I got on a plane was memorable - not because I was heading to a fancy vacation spot, but because I was going to boot camp for the Marine Corps. From the moment I arrived at the recruiter's office, the energy was intense. Family members were calling to wish me good luck, and my nerves mixed with excitement.

So, there were increased queues, delays, so on and so forth, plus very limited options for expansion," Istanbul Airport CEO Selahattin Bilgen told Business Insider in an interview at London's Savoy Hotel.

Vadym Voroshylov, a well-known Ukrainian MiG-29 pilot with the call sign Karaya, wrote on Instagram this week that the JAS-39 Gripen "is the only fighter jet in the world I'd be willing to sell my soul for."
