How to prepare for your performance review 1:1 with Manager?

Hello Everyone, I’m a software engineer with around 1.5 yoe not sure about what should I talk in my 1:1 meetings with my manager apart from feedback. It would be very helpful if you can provide some topics or ways to improve the 1:1 meetings with managers. Like how to talk about money, hike, promotions without sounding greedy or awkward.

Hey all, I have 10 years of experience and currently I am a senior software engineer in 100 years bank. In the mid year I had a good rating. Before year end i would like to request for a promotion to a Team Lead. What should be the approach to request/ask the manager? Please guide me

People what are your suggestions to avoid layoffs. #1 Write UnDocumented and Unmaintainable codes!

I just started my career, and this is my first job as a Front-end developer. Everytime my manager and I have a 1:1, I feel like we talk about random stuff like I started exercising, went on a trip etc. I don't know what people usually do in monthly 1:1's . what should I aim for?

Hey folks, Can you please share the methods and [] while writing self performance reviews? As starter, I'm sharing couple of pointers I follow: 1. Gather supporting evidences for reviews you write. Don't wait till last minute, because you'll definitely forget what you did last whole year. 2. Don't try to take credit of someone else's work. Even if you contributed a lot on the project/feature, don't write it in a manner that tells you single handedly developed it. Try to mention yourself as part of team, and the achievement as an effort by whole team. Share your tips below👇, will help everyone in the community.

Need advice from the community. I had my performance review with my manager last week. The broad feedback was something like this- in her mind, if I'm given any task, she knows it will be done and done well, meeting all expectations. She acknowledged that I'm sincere, hard working and don't cut any corners with my work. But will the task be done ++, she wasn't sure. I've been moving from fighting one fire to the other and never really got a chance to settle in one project, barring one, which my boss says I truly aced. Most of my colleagues believe I've done a stellar job and deserve the top rating but I didn't get that from my manager. My last 1:1 was almost 6 months back and all this time I never really got an indication that 'more' was expected. In fact when I was pulled into projects the only thing I was told was to 'look into this and resolve' without clear goals. I understand this year reviews are tight at most startups but I was left wondering where this came from and what to make out of it. I'm due for another discussion next week. Any advice on how to proceed?

So I'm a developer, say for example working with a specific language like C#. Over the year I worked on enhancing my skills in C# and also dabbled over to look into other domains like AI/ML. What all should I mention in my performance review feedback? Is it wise to show that I went beyond my job requirements and learnt about new and upcoming domains where the product is currently not focused on? I also did some side projects and built some Android apps for fun. Does it make sense to add them too, to indicates that I'm not restricted to just one language or framework. Any suggestions what should/can go and what should not?

This is my first job and here my manager has scheduled a one on one meeting for Annual Appraisal. I want to know what I should expect in this meeting. Thanks!
