To my previous self:
"
You will read more code than you will create code.
If you don't understand something, don't be ashamed.
Communicate your problems with your manager.
Take care of your health! That's the most important thing I can say!
Research the company you will be working for and understand that a 50% recommendation is bad.
Understand that many people in a company use MS Excel.
Understand that bureaucracy is an essential part of the job.
You will attend many meetings, so you will learn how to communicate and understand the tools the company offers for communication (Skype, Teams, Zoom, etc.).
IT department is generally slow, learn to be patient.
learn Git.
Understand Scrum.
Learn Confluence.
Learn how to create batch files to make your work easier.
Learn Bitbucket.
Understand tickets.
Your colleagues are not like your friends or family.
Study the organization chart of the company.
Create a code journal.
Document important events.
Take out legal protection insurance.
You did great for doing all of the above!
Sincerely
Me
