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

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.
