What happens if you do meh in your “step up opportunity”? Was staffed on a deal where I had way more responsibility than usual and did pretty meh. How should you phrase this going forward

Reflect on this one but do not dwell. For whatever reason, you didn’t have the capacity to go above & beyond this time round but it certainly doesn’t mean it was your ‘one shot’. No raegrets

A 'meh' performance means you could have made worse mistakes.

Depends how "meh". If you met expectations but did not exceed them, that's ok; you proved you could handle the stretch and do a decent, 50th percentile job. This won't get you counseled out. It should help a promo case more than hurt. Unsure about case for early promo though.

You’ll get ‘em next time champ!

I see a lot of other analysts push out insights that feel pretty meh to me, like showing best performing tactics, audiences etc. Was I wrong for expecting there to be more?

Would like your advices. Awhile back I applied and was video interview for a position at a competitor. I suspect I wouldn’t get it based on the vibes they gave off.

Has anyone else tried Strattera, had success, and a few months later felt like work was a struggle again? Am I imagining it? There are reasons why I should not take stimulants, but I miss that feeling of being a “regular” person at work and so am curious if others have had a similar journey and where you all ended up
