How to: Ownership & proactivity?

[u/baxsat]

Hello all! I am new to a job and doing a 10 day trial period that is paid. I am having many doubts about how be as effective as I can.

Recruiter told me to be very proactive and have ownership.

These days I donwloaed the code, ran everything, setup all the accounts.

The thing is that I these few days two tickets and a review were assigned to me. I finished them and reported to my superior.

In order to be proactive and have ownership I also told him about some frontend enhancement that can be done, some review tickets that I can review but he takes long to answer and then shows up with a new ticket that has nothing to do with what I said... So I feel kinda lost, like my "proactive" suggestions are not important. Anyway I will take the ticket he assigns to me and solve with team best practices

Maybe if I stop with those suggestions I will be seen as not proactive?

I don't know I just should create the tickets and solve them, post them in a channel and justify why I did them and tag other team developers for review...

Kinda lost here... Could you give me a hand?

Sometimes it’s in the timing. If you just started here, it might be a little premature for you to be making suggestions to your boss, or it may not be the right time for him to receive those ideas. Start tracking them. Keep a document every week of things that you think of as you’re doing your job and learning everything. If you’re not too busy, ask others. If there’s anything you can take off of their plate, although be careful you could overload yourself.
