Got a new job after being at my previous company for 3 years, and it's my first in office job in a while. Any tips to fight off the first day jitters? I'm pretty neverous, tbh.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am starting as an Associate in a management consulting firm. From all the more experienced folks out here, would love to hear about your first job experiences. Things that you did that made it a better experience or things that you wish you had done (or not done). Really anxious about it, so any random experiences are also welcome!

Starting work in a month, would love some advice!

Management Consultant

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

This aint about tech but I’m switching. As this is my first switch, a large part of my professional life was spent with good colleagues who were also freshers like me and they were god-sent. Even my seniors were great and I never felt that superior-inferior things. Now that I’m switching, I’m just feeling all alone again. I stay with friends but I’m not feeling good about how it goes in the new organisation. Can someone please give pointers on how I should be in new office so I don’t end up alone?

Need advice

How the hell does my uncomfortable self make a good impression?
Any advice will be appreciated thanks you guys

DOs and DONT's before first job

Account Manager

I just joined a new internship (my first offline internship) at a big company and don't know what to do here... I am getting small tasks that I finish in half a day, not getting a big project and then I'm free for the rest of the office hours, don't know if I should ask for work or it would be allotted to me. I know it's silly but is this normal? And what should I do? I need clarity regarding corporate life, lmao!

First Job tips

Decision Analyst

Hey folks, I'm joining a company soon. Had joined my prev company during Covid and hence never had my actual Day 1 in "office-office" (Zoom life), so very excited for this new job. 
Interested to know your Day 1 experiences.

Day 1 at new Job

Data Analyst

I know a lot of people love working from home. But small rant here. 
Honestly, straight out of college I thought I would do too. But no, I absolutely do not.

Why? 
1. No personality development. It's honestly like an online college all over again (1/2 of my college "life" was online). I talk to a screen, waste a lot of time otherwise. 

2. I don't have a room to call my own. I know this is going to make me sound like a privileged brat but I need my privacy to feel my full confident self. My family members are always on top of my head and spy on me during work. No they really do.

3. I hate, absolutely LOATHE approaching people on teams. I'm more social, confident and comfortable working in an offline setting be it presenting something or talking to senior folks in general. 

4. I have NO life outside of the computer/home. My hobbies, interests everything are inside the tiny room I share with my parents. I still have 2 different desks (which are literally next to each other) for work and personal stuff respectively. When I had offline semesters, it was really awesome as I had balance.

I graduated in 2023 and of course I have a lot to learn, but I'm seriously thinking about searching for another job that's not WFH. I'm still early career and I think I should not be working remote. Am I stupid?

I cannot work remotely.

Work from home is hellish for extroverts. There is no alternative. I've tried co-working spaces. But nothing beats the actual office experience. 
  
 If you're young, go to office and build your network.

Super last minute! I’m joining as a PM  at a global bank tomorrow and this is my first job out of undergrad, I would love any tips! 🥺

Day 1 advice? HELP!

Leave grapevine. Build your own perspective about things for the first 6 months and then join back

Hello Guys, I would appreciate your advice based on your experience.

I have been working as an Associate Software Engineer in a product-based company for almost a year, after graduating a few months ago.

Recently, I received an offer to work as a Technical Support Engineer in a Web3 based company remotely, with almost double the salary.

How would you approach this situation?

My thoughts are:
- Since I am at the beginning of my career, I could benefit from exploring this opportunity. (Not to mention the higher pay 😅)
- Or I could stay in software development and gain more expertise.

What would you do?

This will be first time I will be doing salary discussion. Can someone tell what all new employee gets, what should I ask? What pay components are there. I will be relocating to another state
