Congrats on the new role!
It’s all about open communication.
Start with all basic preferences (diet, work hours, travel likes, car service, fav hotels, and personal boundaries. Each day is used as a learning and growing experience for both of you.
Ask for bullet point notes on their projects and teams so you can track easily and start to learn who is who. While working together, If something works, praise that and share feedback. If something doesn’t, flag it and speak up.
This is a great opp to provide your person you support with a really great experience.

Thank you

This is great because you get to mold the exec. Be sure to establish any boundaries you may have in addition to his/her boundaries.

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k.

I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.
