During my first week, someone said, “We don’t expect you to know everything—we expect you to ask.”
It changed how I approached every challenge since.
Onboarding isn’t just about systems and tools—it’s about culture.
What’s one moment from your onboarding that shaped how you show up?

I was told it’s sink or swim because it’s a startup—and if I do my best to figure out as much as possible on my own, I’d do well and I’d get help if I asked good questions. I found this empowering and I ran with it—I’ve been promoted twice in 5 years.

Oh that’s a good one. I’ve been with the comp as an independent contractor I was just brought on as an employee so my onboarding has felt off.

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad. I think I showed off my business knowledge, but he kept harping on my lack of an official framework (vs me saying "I'd explore it from different stakeholder perspectives: customer, line employee, management"); pretty sure he considered it a failure. (Continued in comments)

Question for the bowl. Recruiter arranged an interview with a local legal firm for an Office Manager role next week. On paper everything looks great, but the firm has a reputation as being as "ambulance chasers" and for only hiring "good looking young people." I'm really not sure that I would fit in with that work culture. I will go in with an open mind, but If I start to get the vibe that it isn't the place for me, at what point should you just end the interview early?
