At Yelp we have “quarterlies” where we align with our manager on our growth over the quarter and if there is a “misalignment” in where we think I am then we chat about it to try and come to a mutual understanding. In my last two quarterlies I’ve felt like we’ve misaligned in multiple areas and I spent a ton of time explaining things that my manager didn’t know I did. So my question is… have you experienced something similar and what did you do to fix it. How can I gain visibility?

Sometimes you have to manage up. Ask your supervisor how they want to stay informed, perhaps it’s a shared doc where you briefly state what you’re focusing on, biggest win and difficulties in the past week, perhaps it’s a Slack message every Monday… different people communicate more efficiently in different ways.

Do you have regular 1:1s? I would follow up on these in those. Make sure you’re on the same page about what progress looks like.

OP, have you considered leveraging the 1:1s to incrementally update your manager? I like to use a living document where I keep my accomplishments, and add a page break with date stamp from when I updated manager. This way they can skim for newest info whenever they want, and you can keep all your stuff organized so it's easier to present during meetings.

If you’re doing a bunch of stuff that your manager doesn’t know about, should you be doing them? Do they contribute to your team/group/department/company goals? Or are you doing them because of poor or ineffective tools or processes? This may be an opportunity to reduce tour workload and focus your efforts more on the priority items tour manager has assigned to you or to implement or lead some process improvements.

Hi ladies!
I’m interviewing next week for a Sr Account Manager role @ a digital mkt agency.
The interviewer asked me to send in my salary expectation before we talk. This is a little bit challenging to me. Talk numbers.
The position ask for at least 4 years experience. I have 6.
I want to ask for a fair amount because I do think I can bring much value to the company.
Also don’t want to compromise just because I’m out of work at the moment. Do you guys have a suggestion ? TIA!!!

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
