How do you guys prepare for 1 on 1’s with your manager? I work on things so much with mine that during our official meetings that sometimes during meetings I feel like there’s nothing to cover.

The manager should guide the conversation, but usually mine are about personal goals so they aren't typically discussed outside of those meetings.

I don't really prepare. They're always a little awkward as we see each other every day and work together and it's not like we need to check in now and then. If there's something substantive to talk about in a meeting we will, but it's mostly like you say, there's not much to cover.

Right??

^ agreed. The manager should guide the conversation and have an outline of topics that should be addressed. Goals for personal growth, overall inclusion and development. Set goals to work on until your next one on one and or offer options that you’re interested in for your career path.

Big career goals are what I plan to discuss. The manager should come with questions, but if they aren’t, don’t be afraid to talk about what you want to see there.

I see, then it’s just that meeting too frequently is the issue. My last company had quarterly 1:1s for that, and honestly, one of the best timelines. Obviously, you communicate on a day-to-day basis anyway.

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
