First time working as a senior and Manager doesn’t review or have time for many questions. Deff trying my best but very hard to be efficient when it’s takes time for me to understand everything (planning). anybody in the same situation?

I handle this by scheduling regular touch base meetings so I can run down with them all the things I need their guidance or input on.

I'm in a similar situation right now - my approach is to stay on my manager with review reminders everyday and telling them exactly how many days are left til our deadline. Politely lighting a fire below their ass haha

Schedule 1x1s and have an agenda going into them, show that you have a plan. If your mgr is consistently too busy for 1x1s, that’s a red flag because they will probably be disconnected from your work and not know enough about it to advocate for you at higher levels (which is their job).

Be nice to yourself, you’re learning a new job, it’s not unreasonable to expect your manager’s guidance and input, especially as you are learning.

Fishes, OK so this is true. Wipro is delaying the joining by half a month due to some restrictions or organisational changes & not ready to compensate for that half a month loss of salary. Very rude & absurd behaviour from them. Hence rejecting the offer as such company if u aren't sure when to ask for joining u may revoke the offer letter later on. Hence multiple options in hand is necessary nowadays. Infosys Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
