i got a fun question! whats the one piece of advice you'd give someone starting their very first job? or wish you received when you first started?
i'll go first: the ladder is a trap. it sucks climbing it the whole time and there is no cake. bonus: it's never worth it to work with assholes #career
@ellyxir Actively seek out peers from other companies through conferences, hackathons, hackerspaces, Linux repair shops, whatever works for you.
It's of crucial importance to gauge your work environment for adequacy. It's hard to do as it's your first workspace, you just don't know what's considered "normal", where to look for help, and such.
So, speaking with folks, sharing stories, and asking questions should help to get footing in the profession.
