Listen, observe and learn. Focus your first few weeks on this. Be dependable. As you start taking things in, don’t just meet your timelines, overdeliver, and make sure it’s high quality work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Periodically send a quick update to key stakeholders of your projects, just as an FYI. Keep emails brief (e.g, target 8 sentences or so). Keep a positive attitude. Best of luck- you’re gonna do great!

I have 9.5 yrs of experience and am currently level 62 in Microsoft. I feel I should be Senior SE in Microsoft (level 63) but when I got microsoft offer last year the HR said it is the maximum they can give. Fixed base is 28 LPA. There is an upcoming appraisal cycle in September, so I wanted to ask how much can I expect Microsoft to adjust the base salary in this appraisal cycle ( given my performance was decent) ?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
