How do you know if you meeting your expectations? When you look in the mirror mirror and sat to yourself : “Damn dawg, you are fine”.

I find people I look up to or want to emulate and always compare myself. Not in a negative way, but in a good way. Usually the people I compare myself to are positions above me. If I’m comparable in my mind then I’m exceeding expectations. If I’m not comparable, then I see areas where I can grow. Not saying this is for everyone but it has helped me immensely.

Find a senior or manager or your pml to get coffee to ask for realistic feedback and tips for best practices. Of course with the current situation, will likely via Skype. Build a relationship with them and check in with them periodically. It will help because they may become comfortable to give you truly honest feedback and look out/give you heads up. Great way to build a mentor relationship.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
