Accepted an offer after 9 months (update)

I start on Monday after a long search. There are 5 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. What helped you in the first month?

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

Congratulations! Take notes on names and processes in your first week. It helped me settle in.
