Starting a more senior role at an established firm - any advice?
Posting from a new account for privacy. I'm starting a new job soon and interested in any advice from people who’ve joined established companies in fairly senior roles.
To make this more specific than the usual variations of this question: finance industry, newly created role, helping cover a growing product area. So there’s a mix of integrating into an existing team/culture/process while also building out my own area of responsibility and establishing my credibility internally.
One thing I’ve been thinking about is that I probably lean a bit too much toward being a “yes” person at work. I tend to take too much on myself, and even when I delegate I can end up over-editing what comes back instead of letting people run with things.
Open to any advice, especially things you wish you’d done differently early on, or mindset shifts/habits that helped you operate better as responsibilities increased. Thanks.
