[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to what others said, it’s clear that whatever is going on, your immediate boss is aware. Otherwise he wouldn’t be telling you about the coffee date. [/quote]

Agree with this. People seem to think well of you so you may be able to fix this. In the future don’t say anything bad about yourself when you’re complimenting someone else. [/quote]

I used to do that self-deprecating thing too, OP, had to really learn to make an elevator pitch and bite my tongue. They do seem to think well of you so in a way you are then criticizing their judgment, so, don't do that.

I think an email is a good idea, for a big boss that was an investment of time, never hurts to say thank you and to express interest in opportunities.

Thanks for starting the thread, I feel more prepared for such a meeting now myself, I would also have been caught off guard. It can be helpful to cultivate mentors in your organization and industry that can kind of proactively coach or even give you a heads up.

Good luck, OP![/quote]
