What is something you are hiding from coworkers, or they don't know about you? I’ll go first: I’m terrible at remembering people’s names and matching them to faces. So, when I was in a client facing role, I gave people “code names” in my head, like “the guy with the fancy watch” or “the lady who always wears red lipstick.” That way, if I forgot their name, I could just compliment their watch or lip and act like I was being personal lol.

That retirement lies ahead in 2025.

uplifting

I get that—retirement is a big transition and keeping it to yourself for now makes sense. Are you feeling excited, nervous, or a bit of both?

My imposter syndrome maybe

I totally get that and I’ve felt the same way at times. It’s tough when you don’t want others to see your self-doubt, but honestly, you’re probably doing better than you think.

Ah! A recruiter emailed me saying they saw I applied for a role as a referred candidate, and they are “sharing my resume with the recruiter supporting this role for further review.” Is this a good sign? I’m surprised a recruiter reached out about my application who isn’t the recruiter for the job. Trying to moderate my hope if it’s not actually that promising?

I’m 3 months into a new job where I work for a global tech company, and I want to ask for a pay review from my manager at the 6 month mark when I pass probation.
I know I’m going above and beyond my responsibilities as I’m not just managing projects, but I’ve also set up a global PMO governance board and have identified gaps within other teams where I’m assisting with the solution.

Is it acceptable for me to be asking this from my manager, and if so how do I raise this?

My current salary is under market average for my position but based off my coworkers’ negative experiences with asking for raises/promotions, I’m not really sure how to go about starting the conversation with my manager. There’s also a rumor going around that the company is going to scale back on our marketing efforts even though our VP tells us a different story. Either way I need more money and I just want to have that conversation before I begin looking for a new job.
