Looking back on past roles, I’ve realized certain company behaviors were actually huge green flags I didn’t recognize at the time. For me, it was managers being transparent during hard times. What are yours?

I guess I have never thought about it before, but you are right. I would say a big green flag for me was my manager asking how I learned best. It seems like a simple question but not everyone learns the same way.

I had manager years ago who treated people with respect in the sense that he just took them seriously. He was very reasonable about things at work, and to be honest, I didn't appreciate how good he was to work for until after he moved on to another position. I haven't had a boss that good since, and when things decline you really appreciate how good you once had it.

For me it was my manager pinging me after setting a meeting. The ping was “not a super important meeting just want to update you on a project”

It really helped with my anxiety about a mystery meeting

I’m working in a large fund; market neutral public market strategy funds; am about to be recommended for a promotion to associate. However, an analyst position just opened up internally in Credit, which is where I aspire to be for the next ten years. More growth and more intellectual challenge. I’m conflicted about applying for a lateral transfer and losing out on a promotion. Will I be missing out a promotion or should I negotiate a promotion as part of my application to this role ?
