My manager and I usually check in everyday via slack to manage our ongoing projects. But he’s put a weekly 1:1 on the calendar...not sure what I can bring to that meeting or talk about if he already has so much visibility into my work stream. Advice pls! I’m also 3 months into the job

Use it as an opportunity to reflect in a more macro sense - what did I do this week that I liked/ Disliked, what did I have trouble with, what did I find really easy
Also use it as an opportunity to learn more from what they’re doing - ask to go over decks they’re working on or briefs they’re writing

Super helpful, thank you!

I do this with my team - gives them an opportunity to talk about the good, the bad, the ugly without it being a status and be transparent if they need something more from me or want an opportunity for a future project. More of a human to human connect.

This most likely to talk about your experiences, how you are as a person, goals and work interests less so about the day to day projects...that what my manager recently communicated to me

Maybe it's a 90-day review? It's fairly common. Idk

Nope it’s a weekly 1:1

A good 1:1 is about more than status. It’s a time to connect & discuss how you are progressing in your role, discuss plans for the future, root out any issues, etc.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

Supervisory advice on helping a junior?

Recently we got in a graduate that has a Masters in business admin and loves to gloat about how well he did but... this hasn't transferred across to his quality of work.

Between me and my manager we have tried multiple approaches in trying to get him up to speed and understanding the accounting process for his allocation. However it seems he still struggles to understand the basics of debits/credits and an accrual. Anyone have any tips?
