In your 1:1 document, create a section titled "If we have extra time.." and consider talking about some of these things:
- What motivates you
- What you want to do longer-term
- What skills you’re interested in growing
- What kinds of activities give you energy
- What makes you excited to come to work
- What deflates you and makes you unexcited to come to work
- How you like to receive positive and constructive feedback
- How you build trust in work relationships
- Your “laundry SLOs” — your burnout indicators
- What it means to be a strong performer at any given IC grade level
- How the promotion process works
- How salary adjustments, bonuses, and RSUs are determined
- Things that are happening at the department level
- How (some) decisions are made outside of our group
- Available stretch opportunities on your squad, on other squads, and outside of Communities
- People who have specific skillsets, especially outside of your squad
