## Talk Description

Life isn’t all rainbows, unicorns or idealistic LinkedIn success stories. Sometimes things go south. Come to the Discomfort Zone to discuss taboo topics with Riki Fridrich and René Napravil.



So let’s zoom in on one of those uncomfortable moments that might hit close to home:



When you ask for a raise, do you know what you're worth, or are you just hoping for the best? How can you even get a raise when there's so much pressure to replace us with Indian workers or AI? Czech developers are no longer considered cheap labour, so what's next for us? René Napravil will tell you how to find your price and maybe even raise it.
