Anyone else feel like they’re an average performer on a team of high performers, but because of that your review will be lower?

Also worried for upcoming promo to senior, if they’ll say I’m not ready by their standards, but someone else’s standards could be completely different.

I’m interviewing for a an EA role to CEO, who is also interviewing for a chief of staff. CEO has alluded to me being a great CoS based on recent exp, and longer term COO and has asked if I’m going to find the EA role limiting. Do I address my interest in the CoS role, plus gaps in my experience or do I focus on the EA role and finding opps to add value outside of EA responsibilities without stepping on the CoS toes? I really want to work for this CEO & don’t want to talk myself out of the EA job

PSA/rant: If you are sick, please stay home and do not go into the office!! Surprised that this even has to be said.

And it’s so selfish to come in and risk getting everyone sick because you want face time with the boss.
