People keep reaching out to me about roles, but when I ask about salary it’s way lower than what I’m looking for. Feels like I’m getting gaslit but I think as an AD in NYC with 5 years (4 in agency and 1 in-house) I should make 120-130k and be able to have a Senior title. That’s how much other people have told me. Is that wrong? Am I asking for too much?

What do y’all respond with when family and friends ask what you do for work?? I usually say “I help the sales team sell software” but that sounds super lame 🤔

I have a direct report that needs an INCREDIBLE amount validation. On our team Slack, they even feel the need to announce that they were first in uncovering a tiny bit of information - “@boss I found this first!” - and they work to make sure they are acknowledged for such. We’ve had multiple conversations about the behavior - there is no need for it. They can be a team player, but can also be very quick to take all the credit. Any suggestions for how to get this person to a more confident place?

New manager at a Big 4, but I’ve been a consulting manager for a while. An SC on the team said they “refuse” to report to me because I’m new. Our partner told me to get this SC in line and that I have his full support- but he apparently never told her I was coming to join the team to manage her😬. How do I set this SC straight without totally squashing her spirits? For context, she wants to take on more management role and be my “peer” but she’s a brand new SC...she’s not close to being ready.
