re: Accepted my first big job today

Set your 401k and forget it. It’s a long haul.

Focus on your work…learn anything and everything you can about your job and the jobs of the other people that you work with.

Always walk and act with a sense of purpose. Have at least two things at the ready you can respond with if somebody asks “what are you working on?”

Respect and learn from the older people there…don’t assume you know as much or more than everyone else. Be patient with your progression.

Own your work and dont be afraid to ask about something you’re not clear on.

Give your manager what they need to make their job easier or to deal with their managers.
