▪️I Graduated from IIT Guwahati in 2020
▪️In my 3rd year of b. Tech, I began working in a startup
▪️So far, I've worked in 3 startups in cross-functional roles, all of which I've done in collaboration with the founders

I've had a startup work experience, but now that they've all failed, I'm not sure what to do, especially what my worth is and what role I need to play to get a job. I'm looking for an opportunity and assistance in clarifying my role, salary, and career path.

Started a new job last week and have not received much training other than HR videos on company policies. Been begging for some guidance from my new boss and coming up empty. Now he says he wants me to come up with my own 30, 60, 90 day goals for how I see my career progression going and that then he can review with me to help me achieve them…this is weird, right? I’d so much rather know what their expectations are for me? Also, any suggestions for goals would be much appreciated 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Any advice on if your specifically assigned practice area stalls due to factors you can’t control (e.g. rising interest rates causing borrowing to stop and your a loan documentation attorney)? Most other practice areas are full or don’t have additional work to dish out at the moment so I’m not sure what to do. I’m worried about not meeting billable requirements but don’t see much I can do.
