Ask questions and do your due diligence. Make sure you know exactly what you're getting into, both in terms of the role and the company/team culture. Doing this upfront will save you the hassle of having to find a new job all over again a year or two down the line when things aren't shaping up as expected.

Make sure you have realistic expectations about the transition timeline. I got really discouraged after like three months of resume drops, cold emails, coffee info sessions, etc. Eventually I started getting responses and eventually accepted a new offer within about 6-7 months of initiating the job search.

Hi team i have a bit of doubt.
I have an excel sheet where column A is the order numbers. I want to add comments in column G.
There are many repetitions in order numbers but they are all sorted in ascending so all the repetitions are below one another.

If i have a comment, how can i automatically paste that same comment in all the repetitions of that order numbers if i write it in the 1st instance.

Thanks in advance

Anyone have tips for asking for more than you think you're worth?

Would it be appropriate to ask for 10K above the jump? Or should I just count my blessings and leverage my ability to underprice other applicants
