Thank you! I’ll look into it

Man, this reminds me. Not tech related but my first job was at JP Morgan. Started my first day and they were like here’s your laptop, here’s your desk, good luck.

That left me a little perplexed that a big company like that didn’t have an onboarding program of some sort besides “watch these videos”

Yeah I think that’s just so insane. A lot of companies have been creating the roles now that they’ve had to hire a bunch of new people.

Are you still with JP Morgan?
