Started a new job about a month ago. They expect me to have mastered the role by now. I’m working in performance media which is new to me. Any tips on how to deal with a micro manger?

As someone that started in performance media, that’s very unrealistic to be expected to master such a technical corner of the industry in that time. Def ask for measurable goals to work towards. “Mastering” is vague and unfair to you

like

Ask for more finite goals and be detailed. Get a gauge by asking what they expect of an associate, senior associate and manager.

Every passing day makes it clear I need to leave. I’m OP, just updated my title here. I was hired to lead strategy and instead I’m being forced to micro manage my team and check in on pacing once an hour. Thank you to everyone who responded about getting clear goals.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

Reached theoretical financial freedom (4% of networth covers 120% of my yearly spending)
What should I do?
-Motivation to grind at BCG is not here anymore and honestly the experience here was underwhelming (~1y as a C, lateralled from other firm)
-Still too risky to open own lifestyle business
-Option to exit to industry for a few years at a 9-6 job?
-Option to do some side hustles?

Anything I should consider when making my decision? Any risks I haven't foreseen?

Thanks!

Anyone here in partnerships management or business development or strategic alliances development? I’m in a BizOps role today and have been trying to break into this space without much luck. Hiring managers / recruiters always say the same thing when they do give feedback - that they’re looking for someone that has experience in the same role. What’s the best way to break in? It’s not like there are business development classes like there are coding classes where I can learn the job.
