I am a level 1 help desk tech at an MSP. I’ve been at this job for a year. I’ve been working in IT for 1.5 years, though.

I have my yearly review coming up and I have no idea what kind of questions to ask. I’m drawing a total blank.

I do know that I am being prepped to become a level 2 tech, but I’m not there yet.

My company is small and I can be totally open and honest with my boss.

I’m still anxious though.

    A yearly review is generally more for them to give you feedback so you really don’t have to ask questions if you don’t want to. If you’ve been doing a decent job you have nothing to be anxious about. But here are some questions you could consider asking:

    What do you consider my strengths? Is there anything I can improve on?

    I would like to develop my skills in xyz, are there any opportunities in the company for me to do that? Or do you have recommendations for how I could do that outside of the company?

    What are the career path options after level tech 2?

    Am I meeting your expectations for where I should be at the current point in my career?

    What direction do you see the company/our team moving in in the next few years? How could I help us align with that?
