Ask HN: How should I use my employer-provided annual growth fund?

5 pointsby devtyover 7 years ago
People in my company usually use the growth fund to attend conferences - I didn&#x27;t and am looking for ways to use them. The expense must be _very_ relevant for my job as a software engineer and my growth in that position (e.g. conferences, technical books, online courses) (non e.g. electronic gadgets, cooking classes, expensive mechanical keyboards, 4K monitors).<p>I&#x27;ve got ~$1000 left on my growth fund. I&#x27;m thinking about purchasing couple of technical books and maybe online courses (on golang&#x2F;elixir). Do you have any recommendations on useful things I can spend my growth fund on?

Buy yourself a yearly subscription to Safari Books (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.safaribooksonline.com&#x2F;pricing&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.safaribooksonline.com&#x2F;pricing&#x2F;</a>). I got an account through work and its been highly beneficial because of the sheer amount of books available.
