Operating at next level within 18months of joining new company. Was hired as individual contributor and now managing team of 10 , with 10X portfolio. Going in to discuss promotion with boss. Feeling somewhat unprepared as I have been working a lot and have not prepared for meeting. Suggestions on how to structure and what to say ?

Something I wish I did: start by listening if you can and introduce your point of view in the conversation as it happens.

Take 15-30 minutes tonight tomorrow to capture your thoughts and just organize them. (If you can do it tonight, it might help you sleep)

Then look at it again tomorrow morning to see if you need to add anything.

Is the meeting with the boss specifically for this topic? If you are meeting specifically about promotion/raise, you might want to reschedule.

Or is this just a standard 1.1?

Assuming you want to continue to be the manager - My personal approach would be something like - I know I’m doing X work for the last few months. I would like to discuss the possibility and timeline of a promotion and salary raise to match the new responsibilities that I have taken on.

And if the salary/promotion is 6 months down the road, what can we negotiate in the near term to reach that 6 month mark

The important thing here is to listen to what is being said and how your boss is phrasing things. Seek to understand.

This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.

Can get advice on TC?
Let’s say your original TC in your current is 300k, but because of stock appreciation, your actual TC now is 500k (same base, same bonus, but stock appreciated). When negotiating with new company, will the new company consider your TC as 500k, or 300k? Thanks

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

Dear Microsoft Fishes,

How is work pressure in Level 58 support engineer roles.

Please put some light on the culture and work life balance.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
