Stay Interview
A 1:1 in the first quarter where your manager asks what would make you want to leave or stay long-term, before the question becomes urgent.
A stay interview is a planned conversation between you and your manager about what would make you want to stay or leave the role over the medium term. It is the inverse of an exit interview, run when the answer can still affect the outcome.
The good versions cover three areas: what energizes you in this role, what drains you, and what would change your mind about staying long-term. Many managers do not run stay interviews because they fear surfacing things they cannot fix. The reality is that surfacing them late is what costs people, not surfacing them at all.
Ask your manager for a stay interview around day 75-85. If they have not heard the term, link them to a one-pager. The conversation tends to materially shift how you experience the rest of the year.
