Anyone else feel like they’re an average performer on a team of high performers, but because of that your review will be lower? Worried because I’m getting through the work timely but just feel like there’s always something I’m being asked to do better. Also worried for upcoming promo to senior, if they’ll say I’m not ready by their standards, but someone else’s standards could be completely different.

If you show up with a good attitude, work hard, communicate well, show you’re willing to learn, then I can’t imagine you’d get a bad review.

High performers generally understand that they’re high performers and won’t knock someone just because they aren’t. Average performer with the above attributes would still get a good review in my book.

As for the comments on what you can improve - don’t take it personally and genuinely begin to work on those things. High performers like to see others succeed, too 🤗

Yeah this is just how it is in a competitive work environment we generally all get compared to our immediate peers not the hr defined benchmark. Sometimes it’s good sometimes not so much.

I want to go back to EY. Can someone give a referral? EY
