Hello! I'm at a junior level in my current position and have been at my job for about a year and a half. I want to talk with my manager about my goals and a path toward advancement in the future. However, I'm very nervous about this and not really sure how to ask for the time with him and what to say. I know he's very busy and I'm finding it's more intimidating than I anticipated. Does anyone have any advice for having this conversation in a professional way?

In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white.

I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
