I just joined a new (regional) firm as a manager. How long until I get assigned a project? Or am I supposed to find my own? It’s been a week and after on boarding I’ve been working on proposals.

it’s been a week chill out lol

Have you talked to sr managers or partners in your group? How would anyone here have any idea about how some unknown firm works?

funny

i was more so hoping to hear how other firms are run and then extrapolate

When we hire at a manager level, its usually because we have a number of audits that are in need of a manager. I'd guess that you have a team leader/partner/coach that should be helping to get those on your schedule.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking. I seem to be more of a growth hire than a replacement, so I think I am mainly helping cover for summer
vacations at this point

My coach (partner in another city) seems pretty hands off, I told him my approach to start some BD and he just said go for it lol

I have tried absolutely everything I can think of to limit distractions during the work day and none of it has worked. Working from home has only made it 100 times worse because now I know there are other more interesting things to be distracted by all around me. What do you do to hold focus during working hours? What will get me to be able to work for longer than 35 minutes without getting distracted?
