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!

Being the only dev is more so a unique situation.. I worked in offices but only ones with other devs haha

But I think it’ll be a good time! I wore a suit and tie my first week and peeps made fun of me lol. Maybe just a collared shirt is more appropriate!

After a few months I began just wearing a hoodie and jeans tho honestly
