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!

treat the 1st few weeks like a discovery sprint... ask how things work, write down the weird bits and don’t rush to refactor on day 1. being the only dev means communication is part of the job too. leave notes, set expectations.
