> my manager has been gone since December

What does this mean? Surely you report to someone, and this person is accountable for your work. If your manager is on leave, they should have assigned someone to act on their behalf.

At this point in your career you should have weekly meetings with your manager, and the feedback you're looking for should be communicated in these meetings. This person is responsible for creating the environment to let you learn, grow and succeed. Something is not right here.



I have been in a situation where I only met my manager once every 6 months. That too, only because I insisted.

It was an incredibly shit work environment. 0 onboarding, sink or swim. My buddy just ignored me most of the time.
