-: I think having regular conversations
with people who you report to about your career
is invaluable.
So that it doesn't feel like it's this one big conversation
that's only happening once a year
that you have to prepare for,
but it's someone that you've built a relationship with,
that you've developed trust with,
who sees how hard you're working and how well you're doing
in your core responsibilities,
and then is hopefully invested in
wanting to keep you happy and motivated and engaged.
So I think making it, not a big deal conversation,
but a series of smaller conversations,
is really valuable and also
may lead to a really different outcome than you thought,
so those kind of smaller conversations
help you get more data about what your different
career path can look like
and it could be that you actually wanna be
on a totally different path
than the one that you thought about.
And thanks to those conversations,
you have some more input.
