Just read that bragging about yourself is actually a good thing (http://bit.ly/d3b3jq). Which kind of shuts down all those people who say self-promotion is bad. The study says it's better to brag about yourself instead of someone else, especially for first impressions. Considering, I think we could all be a little more self-confident, I'm all in.

It was hard for me to adjust professionally to the US when I moved here after having spent more than 5 years of my career in India. Simply because here, self-praising is something that's a given.
