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.

Question, if you pay off your house isn’t a 100k salary more than enough to sustain a good lifestyle? My goal has always been to payoff my mortgage then find a really easy analyst role to sustain my expenses. Assuming I’m a director/VP by the time my mortgage is paid off I’d probably be able to do an analyst 40hr week in like 10hrs. Esp at some of these low expectation companies. What do y’all think about this plan?
