Currently a first year associate, and struggling. One thing I've been struggling with is being able to get started on a task without understanding every aspect to the slightest detail. In situations when I'm not given full information, and have to fill in the gaps, and draw conclusions without full data, it's hard not to get lost.

I understand that this comes with experience, but anyone has tactical advice to get up to speed on projects quickly?

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

My recruiter mentioned last week that I'm going to HC, then called me this week to say that I skipped HC as I did well so "we're moving to next steps".

So...did I get an offer or not?! 😅
