The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?

Starting a new job at Applied Materials on Monday as a Manufacturing Engineer III. I’ve been out of college for 5 years and all of my work experience till now has been in R&D for start ups and small businesses . So not only is this a new experience for me going into such a large company but also a industry (semiconductors). Does anybody has tips or advices on what I should expect as a new hire and how I can set myself up for success? Thanks!

Best tip, get out of the house and into a new space. Try a wework, library, coffee shop. Also exercise.

Work in sprints of time and allow yourself a break at the time of the hour or set blocks of time for specific tasks. It makes it all seem much more manageable. Use available tools like Outlook to manage those blocks of time.
Hi - I’m in the same situation. WFH with a side hustle and all I really want to do is stuff for my side hustle instead of my real work. I block time on my calendar for all the work tasks I need to do early on in the day when I’m at my most focused. Then if I accomplish those work tasks my “reward” is getting to spend my afternoon on my side hustle guilt free

I like the idea of rewarding myself with my side hustle work

There’s a scene in the gambler(2014) where John Goodman is explaining to mark wahlberg the theory of “fuck you”.
Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed I just think about just securing that oh so sweet position of fuck you.
