After being a successful contractor for many years I was recruited for/accepted a great position at an organization I admire. I am now three years in and have proven to be highly successful in the creative, strategic, administrative, and managerial aspects of my position. In a 1:1 with my EVP I asked what his plan is for me at this organization. He didn't have an answer which left me feeling unappreciated. I want to circle back in a more structured way. Please advise.

People get hired to do a job, not to have a career. If you want more out of life, you need to map out what that is, and then engage your EVP if you think they can help.

It’s not up to your EVP to make your career plan. It’s up to you. Your EVP should be willing and able to help, but they are not in charge of your next steps at an agency or organization.

I am sorry to hear that, it would definitely make me feel unappreciated as well. But like the person above said, its their job to help you with your career plan but not necessarily plan it out for you. I would instead go back with a plan of where you want to be and where you want to end up and ask how they can help you get there.

Many thanks to the three folks who took the time to respond with clear, concise feedback. It was very illuminating to me. I have always been under the impression the manager is the one who has a plan for the department structure (we're about to have a big org change) and sees who's poised to evolve into new positions/promotions. I know I have a plan for my team members and how they will grow into new positions that I am hoping to create. Thank you for opening this new door of thought and helping me to create more agency for myself. Much appreciated.

Anyone know of an alternative to StackOverflow for asking tech questions? The community is super toxic and I'm looking for a place I can casually ask questions that might seem dumb without being hrangued for not providing an essay proof of the research I've already done. Or some sort of buddy system where I can ping a person of relevant experience those questions. It's better to poke someone's brain for a minute than to spin in circles reading docs/dead end articles sometimes.

Is it stress or burnout?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
