One drink max at a work function. (I was told that too late lol).

Also, it’s not about checking off a list of accomplishments to “say you did” and ask to get moved up to the next level. You have to master each level. Do it 300 times, not once to tick it off. What we do is a craft. Treat it like one.

You’re always learning and perfecting at every level, and you are more important than no one. How you treat other people follows you throughout this industry for your entire career. Be kind.

Take initiative. Every time someone new joined the team (no matter their level) I asked them out for coffee.
