🧭 Guiding thoughts

Take time to gain familiarity with the working environment. In your first 30 days, try to focus on getting comfortable and learning how things work.
Learn processes and get to know the team. By day 60, you'll be in task mode. In your first two months, spend time as much time as you can getting to know people and forming relationships.
Don't be afraid to ask. No one expects you to know how things at work right away. Take advantage of that and ask for help when you need it.
