When starting a new role, what are some expectations you try to make clear up front? When I started at my current company, I made sure I didn’t immediately start working lots of extra hours so it wasn’t expected. I made this mistake at my first company and created an expectation that I could get a ton of stuff done, but in reality, I was just working a ton of extra time. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Exactly. It’s so easy to accidentally train people to expect extra hours from you. I think setting a sustainable pace early is important, otherwise doing more just becomes the new normal instead of being recognized as extra effort.

Exactly!

Absolutely this. When working in person, I will always take my lunch in another area.

Great suggestion!

I know the unpredictability of our job but phew 😮‍💨

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
