I’m currently at the client site Monday to Friday, so completely understand your situation. Try to go to town halls / community events and to do some internal work for your practice so that the partners will remember your name

Friday's for internal and external networking. I do my 40 hours Monday to Thursday. Coffees, beers, phone calls etc.

I try to do it over the phone. Some SMs have offered to video conference which is super awkward at first but gives you some face to face interaction at least. I try to have a couple networking calls a week when I won’t be in the office on that Friday

Fridays. Were all encouraged to be in the D office and take advantage of the face time.

My client’s site got hacked yesterday. I didn’t see any actual signs of impending attack. But knowing how little we do for cyber security when building a site, I knew we must have been vulnerable in some way. I’ve tried pushing for more cybersecurity measures in the last year, but being a Jr, I don’t know a lot about it. My manager had brushed it off as something that would be nice to look into if [insert excuses not to here]. Can’t push it off any longer. I’m afraid heads are gonna roll.Advice?

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers.

Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?
