Internal raises capped at 3%; jumping reset my market rate each time. Loyalty is lovely but the fastest way to a raise is still a competing offer. Keep interviewing.

Good stuff. The one thing I'd flag for newcomers is that the first month feels like nothing's happening, and that's exactly when people bail. How did you stay convinced before you had results to point to?
I keep tripping on the second point specifically. I know exactly what to do, I just don't stay consistent past week two. How do you keep going once the novelty wears off and it's just work?
Wish I'd read this three years ago — would've saved me a whole detour. The framing alone is worth the post. What changed your mind from however you used to think about it?
Same, learned it the expensive way. Started small and let it compound instead of going all-in and burning out. Genuinely wish I'd done it sooner.
This is the part I'd underline too. The consistency point sounds obvious until you're three weeks in and bored out of your mind. What kept you going past that?
Honestly didn't expect to agree this much, but you've talked me into it. Going to try the smaller version this week and see.
