I think I've been doing a great job at work, and really want to be considered for a promotion, has anyone had a "career goal" or trajectory conversation with their manager? How did it go? What would you do differently?

What I’ve done in the past is look up the job description and requirements of the role you would be promoted into and analyze how you meet those criteria. And then have a conversation w/ your manager. “Ive been thinking about my career progression here. I saw this posting for position X that is a level above mine. I was looking at the qualifications and meet 80% of them through X,Y,Z.. i have made it my goal to make sure I focus on growth in the other areas for the next 3 months..would that make qualified for promotion at that point, correct”

I felt it went a lot better than ‘what else do I need to do to be promoted’ convos that many times end up too vague. You need to make it clear how you are performing above your level.

Make sure to assert yourself and let them know about your expectations.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Curious what everyone’s been seeing from the latest Google algo update? I’ve been noticing smaller, niche sites start to show up more in high value SERPs. My hypothesis was that over the pandemic Google over-showed the large sites like NYTimes, Forbes, CNET, TomsGuide, etc in high value categories to make sure users were getting info from well-trusted sources. Now they’re scaling back and giving the little sites some love. Thoughts???

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
