I start a new job on Monday - what worked for you?

They called on Monday with an offer and I said yes right away. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. What helped you in the first month?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
