I'm currently on my first dev job (before this I was an IT consultant).
It's weird to say this, but since I'm in a remote position, in my first day I really had no tasks at all, except reading a few mails. My employer wanted me to use a specific laptop for the job; under a VPN and such. Had to wait a week before getting it delivered to me, then another week to get the whole environment setup; VSCode, Node.JS, Office apps, company/Slack/cloud storage credentials, etc...
Even weirder, I got in as an "Angular Developer", but right now I feel like an IT support staff member. The time will come when my dev tasks are assigned, but right now I'm taking the chance to learn a lot of new stuff on Linux and what else.
