    Default Work Success...

    I think this fits (mods: if it doesn't, I apologize and totally understand it being moved to the right forum). All I know is that I just got promoted from Technical Trainer 1 to Tech Trainer 3 and it included a double-digit percentage bonus raise.

    This will mean significant payments towards debts and EF!!! And should be enough to push for a H1B and then a green card (and thus, more perm status in the US!).

    I'm over the moon. This year is definitely turning out to be a good year.

    Awesome news Linus!

    Will you be putting 100% of your increase towards debt as though you never received an increase?
