I’m new to the industry. Please tell me what the topics to discuss with my manager would be.

2. Short term goals, whether there are any blockers stopping you to achieve them
3. Things you found challenging in past days and how did you solve them
4. Feedback, get immediate feedback from your manager around events in past days and also give it to them
5. I also like to talk about stuff outside work with my reports, F1, travel, etc
What not to do during 1-1:
Reporting status on your work, its not a standup meeting or a status check meeting
Switched to a new job and every 1:1 is basically a status update and I miss the old job a lot more now (besides the TC). Feel pressured to have something to report :(
- keep a running doc of notes to discuss with your manager and prepare something new at least 24 hours prior to your meeting
- constantly ask for feedback
- discuss challenges that came up since the last
- you have to tell them what you want to talk about, they can’t read your mind
- save time for some chit chat at the end, people like working with PEOPLE
