Has anyone been given advice they liked on how to create visibility for yourself, build a professional brand at work, or be promoted? I have a few productive and capable people who need to create visibility around themselves beyond me talking them up. I’m not sure how to help.

LinkedIn education has some great folks that do presentations or post about building the brand. (I also started using Instagram and Pinterest).

As for how to help, in my personal experience,

1) I would have appreciated internal knowledge about what a career path might look like at the company. Asking what do you want to do is like looking at a giant buffet and saying you can have only one thing.

I have had project managers move to finance, risk, become developers, etc.

2) Asking the question, what do you like doing here? What would you wish you could try? Would get them thinking about their strengths.

3) Offer to work on elevator speeches or scenarios on how they can promote themselves. Having a conversation with a peer vs 1st/2nd level manager vs C-suite is very different. Now add promoting yourself on top of that.

A great way to create visibility (which they need to do themselves), is to get involved in different projects, where available. This helps get them in front of other people around the organization, reflects a sense of ownership, showcases their talents others may not have noticed, etc.

Brand new startup, how do we think about social media?

We tried paid ads and it’s expensive so we want to acquire users through content marketing. It’s a product that helps people discover gift ideas - and it’s a web app.

What’s a good way of creating a social media strategy for it? Or is social media content marketing a good idea at all for early startups?

What are other ways to acquire early stage users?

I am a new (lateral) associate at a small firm where everyone currently works from the office. When I started, I wasn’t told specific firm hours. I’ve tried to figure out when to come and go based upon when the partners arrive and leave, but their schedules are very inconsistent. The other associates don’t have helpful guidance for me. Assuming that if I ask the partners they’ll say to use my discretion, what are reasonable hours to keep?

Why do people in m&a tax make so much more than regular / international? Is the work that much harder / more challenging? It seems like they mostly just coordinate with other teams. Basically like jack of all trades but master of none?

Part of me thinks they can charge higher fees because they’re on a transaction and seen less as a “cost” center. On the sell side they’re helping generate revenue and on the buy side they’re doing the same, although not immediately
