Getting to my first SARs soon. Any advice on how to mentally prepare? Worried teams have not been giving me the full context of everything and saying all is fine, then will talk more openly to my DGL

You aren't even going to get a rating in the first SAR and unless you are hearing tough feedback every time you probably aren't tracking for issues. I always found feedback with teams was very comparable to what my DGL heard in SARS -- if anything, my teams were more honest in feedback than with SARs, since DGLs are known to latch sometimes onto offhand comments made during SARS.

This job is incredibly stressful if you chose to stress about everything. What's done is done, you can't influence anything now. Best case scenario you do fine, worst case scenario you get to leave the firm and do an equally paying job with better hours and a slightly bruised ego...but hopefully you're adult enough to get over that.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible.
