How do you go about setting work goals? Do you sit down on your own and think about them or talk with others or what? I always struggle with it.

I had a mentor (former manager) who really helped me map out a career path and I've been following that for the last 5 years. I'll probably need to adjust as the technology keeps developing and maybe pivot to learning new skills but the overall shape of my plan has really been determined by that mentor who has built his career from the ground up

My company has a formal performance development program through which all merit increases and promotions are based. So I formally write goals and discuss them with my manager every year.

So when it comes to goals at work, I actually don’t get to set my own the company or my department heads sets RKPI and those are the goals. I’ve gotta hit quarterly so I don’t get to set my own.

I generally do it on my own

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
