I recently joined the AMP dev team - 5 months or so. Before I even arrived, maybe about a week or two out - one of my coworkers sent me a really detailed email going over what they thought I would be doing my first week and links to the tools/apps/frameworks that they’ve used in the past. I feel like giving me time to prep myself and get a feel for what I’d be doing, even before I started, alieviated a lot of the anxious feelings I would normally have starting out.
Dev manager at Jungle Disk. I love fixing things, whether I’m refactoring or digging into bugs, I just find it satisfying to make things better than they were before.
Awesome reply! I am still in the process of looking for full-time "on-site" hires, and I'll definitely be using your positive experience to help inform how we prepare a new hire for their first week(s). Thanks so much for sharing!
