As I enter my last week at my current workplace, I’m filled with mixed emotions, gratitude for the experiences I've gained and excitement for the new adventures ahead. From the projects I've led to the friendships I've built, this place has shaped my career in so many ways. What’s one piece of advice you’d give for making the most of a transition?

There's always some sadness when you've moving on, and I'd suggest making sure you don't let that take too much of your attention. You can stay in touch with the people you want to, and looking forward to what's next should be the main focus. I've got friends I made at jobs years ago, so it's possible to stay in touch and maintain friendships formed in the workplace.

I will definitely see some of the people afterwards. It just feels like a home that I'm leaving. I have to remind myself of the very good reasons I'm leaving.

Celebrate everything you are taking from that job, accomplishments, relationships, and challenges you might have overcome. It is closing one chapter, but everything has worked together to bring you to the next.

I understand that! Wearing many hats can bring a lot of excellent learning opportunities, but at some point, you want to put some away.

It is always hard to leave something familiar, even if you are off to bigger and better things. Take what you have learned into the next role as you continue to grow and learn more.

Transitions are always a mix of excitement and nerves. My biggest advice would be to stay curious and open in the new role, while keeping in touch with the people who supported you here... those connections are gold. What's the first thing you're most excited about in your next chapter?

Hello!
I’m a student majoring in Software Engineering. I’m starting my third year in a few months and have an internship where I’m learning more about working with an actual team on real-world projects. However, I feel like I need to do more to stand out and have a stronger software background. Anyone have any tips or suggestions for what I should do on my own time to strengthen my skills?

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.
