You claim to be spending >$5.5k/mo on self-investments. What are you hoping to improve from these investments? Do you think your skills need improvement? I am highly highly skilled, but I've found the world is far more concerned about perception & position & being in the right spot at the right time. Good work, smarts, competence is not rewarded. Work attached to high profile efforts are rewarded. What kind of coaching/mentorship are you getting out of your $2k/mo? Technical or tactical/political? Have you found it helpful?
