In Episode 40 of The First Job Podcast, Lucas and Luna tackle a crucial skill that most new grads overlook: setting career goals in your first job. They break down the difference between performance goals (what your manager cares about) and development goals (what you should care about), using the example of a first-year analyst at a mid-size consulting firm who mapped out a 12-month plan using OKRs. Lucas shares a practical framework for writing goals that are specific, measurable, and aligned with your long-term trajectory — without waiting for your annual review. Luna pushes back on the idea that goals need to be formal and argues for the power of small weekly experiments. They also discuss how to get feedback from your manager without sounding needy, and how to adjust goals when the job changes. If you want to accelerate your growth in year one, this episode gives you a repeatable process. #CareerGoals #FirstJob #GoalSetting #OKRs #ProfessionalDevelopment #NewGrad #EntryLevel #EmployeeFeedback #ManagerRelationship #CareerGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #WorkplaceSkills #JobSatisfaction #SelfAssessment #CareerPlanning #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Fexingo founder and producer: Ibnul Jaif Farabi Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
