Spent the entire last week struggling with a project. Puzzle was solved within 20 mins of a 1:1 with my manager. Putting this out there in case anyone else needs a reminder that it’s okay to ask for help once in a while.

This is always sound advice. At a certain point, continuing to bang your head against a wall is counterproductive. Your colleagues and bosses are resources. Don't be afraid to lean on them when needed.

100%. I’m definitely learning this

Needed to hear this today! Thankyou

A manager I work with is my official mentor at the firm. They expected me to do something for them in busy season when I was booked on another client, but when I try to get time to talk to them about my reviews or performance, they seem to just ignore my invites or reschedule constantly and last minute. Is it wrong to feel annoyed by this? What’s the motive behind that?

When calculating YOE, if you are working 2 jobs, can you double count those years? For reference, I’ve been an Army Reserves officer for the last 5 years since coming off active duty, and spend about 30-40 hours per month (outside of 2-4 week annual training) on that job. So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them. Don’t know if there’s any practical reason just curious peoples opinion
