Take out your associates to lunch and listen to them. You’ll want to establish lines of communication before they get acclimated to your abuse

Also get in the habit of doing what your Director or MDs do. Follow them closely - that’s the job (plus babysitting the A&As)

This is great advice thanks asc1

Something I have struggled with is moving from “doer” to “reviewer”. As a VP, your job is to guide the process, not do everything yourself. It also makes your A&As better if they take first swings with some instruction, making your life easier in the long run.

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties. I manage Youtube channels and do all strategy, planning, talent management, rework content for socials, reporting, graphic design, + a bunch of other stuff. Do you think I should be something like Video Content Manager? A Strategist maybe? My company doesn't have career pathing & I think they'd be happy to keep giving me more work with the same pay. TIA!!

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
