Good question. It can be hard to approach your boss with questions like this that don't necessarily seem pressing, especially if you get the sense that your boss is busy or stressed. That said, it's part of their job to be giving you feedback! If they're not doing it voluntarily, I'd make a point of asking during a 1:1 meeting whether there's anything they think you could improve on. If you're able to get specific and ask for feedback regarding a particular project or particular job responsibility, that might be helpful. If you don't have regular 1:1s, schedule one! Your boss will (hopefully) be impressed that you're taking initiative and proactively trying to enhance your professional development. If he/she doesn't respond well, that may be a sign that you should seek other mentors/sponsors — or potentially a new role.

You're invited.
