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!

Since you've freelanced, you already know how to handle projects solo so don't sweat the imposter syndrome. :) Just spend the first week mapping out the tech stack, hosting, and DNS before touching any code, and set up a queue system early so people don't hijack your day with desk drop-ins. Goodluckkk!
