Accepted an offer after 3 months, software tester here

I start on Monday after a long search. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. What helped you in the first month?

Well earned. Ask questions early, even small ones. People liked it.

That is wonderful news. Keep applying for a little while if you have not signed, it is a good habit.
