Wow okay no first off, congratufuckinlations ignore these guys getting a job at all during these times should be celebrated.

Enjoy making friends with your coworkers, learning about your role and starting the grind. It’s part of life.

My advice: set boundaries early and prioritize your physically and emotional health from the beginning so you don’t become the negative Nancys above.

Congrats on your new job!

Congrats on your job! I’m 2020 too and started in mid August. What’s been serving me extremely well is continuously asking questions - not to get the answer, but to better understand context of engagements and my given tasks. It’s allowed me to both learn a lot in such a short time and actually get my shit done

uplifting

Thanks man & all the best to you as well!

I meant fighting off competition from the companies that will lower costs by sending the work overseas. Fed work is regulated and cannot be performed outside the country generally. So that way your job is more secure than commerical.
