I’ve been using a word document to keep track of any major accomplishments so I can advocate for myself for year end. I’d love to hear the groups tactics on what everyone does to stay on top of your game.

From personal experience, keeping track of accomplishments means nothing if you can’t quantify the benefit and/or tie it back to the company’s bottom line. As an employee, you’re expected to accomplish things. I saw movement in my career when I stopped listing my accomplishments and started tying them to $$/revenue brought in, $$/cost saved, $$/saved by streamlining or automating a process (i.e translate time saved into payroll costs), etc. For every accomplishment that you have, create an excel doc that shows how you came to the monetary amount listed next to each one. Good luck! You’ve got this!

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.
