"thank you for submitting your application"

Congratulations man !! Great to hear about it !! 🥳

Since this will be your first time in corporate office, a few pointers:

1. Dress well formally and informally - Have some good plain and check shirts along with formal or casual pants. You can find good combinations over net for sure. Dressing up well sure boosts your confidence.
2. Groom yourself well. Don't have to overdo things. Good cologne and a tidy lookup goes a long way.
3. First rule of corporate - Don't trust anyone blindly. Everyone is here to learn and take care of their families. And so are you. So, look after yourself first. Mentally and physically, that's important. You will surely have colleagues and over time you could make some close friends (totally depends on time) but learn to wait and see.
4. Keep your personal and professional things separate. Not everyone needs to know everything about you. Over time, you will understand how the people at corporate work and you will adjust to them accordingly.
5. Observe your team culture. Try to learn from this experience and whenever in doubt, ask questions. There are no right or wrong questions.
6. Learn to say NO. If you don't feel like a certain task couldn't be accomplished within a timeframe or you require help, ask it. I am not sure how Amazon's culture is, but yes for the mentioned point tell it to your colleague or reach to your PM.
7. Rest over time you will learn how people and things actually work and who is doing with what interests. So, just keep your senses open.

Now, coming to the part that you will be moving to Chennai. Well I started my career from Chennai, so a few pointers there:

1. Food: I am a vegetarian, so surely there are good options. If you don't have any problems with eating rice thrice a day, then surely it's not a problem. Since rice is almost main in their diet. If you like typical north indian food, there would be a restaurant serving north indian food as well, you just need to find it.

2. Language: I couldn't understand anything till I was there. But yes, locals are helpful and they try to guide you. Just don't get into any quarrels or something, bcoz once they start speaking tamil, you wouldn't understand anything.

3. Explore areas of pondichery, mahabalipuram, parts like nelllore,vellor and yellagiri are good, if get time go rameswaram as well. Within the Chennai City, there is lots to explore with marina, Elliot and other kind of beaches along with Iskcon, Ashtalakshmi and Kapaleshwar temples. There are some art galleries as well. So you will have plenty to explore.

4. Humidity: the weather is kind of humid so you would prefer to have an AC room sharing PG. I think sharing a rented flat would be costly (at my time it was, since security was very high). So, connect with someone and get an idea of how the present situation of PGs and flats is.

That's all I can remember now. If anything you want to ask, sure can shoot it up here. All the best 😊
