I start a new job on Monday (update)

They called on Wednesday with an offer and I said yes right away. Thank you in advance. 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.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
