Baked goods or something of the like is also thoughtful and personal. Just don’t give a Starbucks gift card if they don’t drink coffee… for future I have heard of an appreciation survey that is a great idea.

Few years ago my manager got me a scarf. Simple and inexpensive.

Yes but my direct report is also my office administrator. So she will get something around $100 based on what I know about her (or a gift certificate to a local restaurant)

I buy same/similar gifts for my directs. Not super expensive but thoughtful and uplifting, sometimes fun.

I am currently at a firm and received an in-house offer. Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.
