Some basics things you need to expect from your manager:
One-on-One meetings
- create human connection between you and the manager
- opportunity for you to speak privately with the manager
- as a senior you would need to drive 1-1s and bring topics for discussion
Feedback and Workplace Guidance
- the worst thing is not getting/giving feedback at all
- delivering fast feedback is more valuable than waiting for a convenient time
- as a senior you could give more feedback to your manager
Training and Career Growth
- you are responsible for figuring out what types of training you want
- the manager can contribute to you career growth via promotion and compensation
- managers can’t guarantee promotions but they can help you build the skills they know the system is looking for
