Hi! I’m starting my first job out of college next week. It is an industry job, pretty okay work life balance. This role is an experienced hire role and I’m very nervous because I recruited as a new grad. I would love any advice on how to adjust to the work, any skillsets I should learn, routines to create, or just anything I can do to prepare myself in the corporate world and “adulting”. Many thanks🙏
