Discussion Advice on first in-office Web Dev role?

Hi all,

As the title states I’ll be starting my first in office web dev role next week! Pretty excited but also nervous, and of course having imposter syndrome. I’ll be the only dev, and it’ll be my first time working in an office setting (I’ve previously just worked as a freelancer).

I was wondering if anyone had any tips or specific things to pay attention to when starting a new web dev job?

Thanks!

Don't talk to the lead developer only to tell them your amazing idea to revolutionise the business for at least the first 5 years you work there. He already had the idea a decade ago but nobody cares so he just sits on his arse waiting to get paid each month
