I am in a new job and finding hard to assimilate. What are some of the tricks of the game you have played to get in the mold quickly?

Start building genuine relationships with the various people you work with - especially people who are internal “clients”. Have coffee, meet for lunch. Don’t talk shop. Get to know and like them as people. That real, person-to-person connection is the secret sauce to make the work go well and then everything should fall into place. Good luck! I’m pulling for you!

Get to know them. What’s their career path? How long have they worked there? Do they have things they’ve learned about how to be successful there or missteps they’ve made or seen others make that they suggest you avoid? What do they like to do outside of work? Upcoming vacation plans? ….Ask ChatGPT for some good getting-to-know-you questions. Don’t be invasive or too personal. Really listen to what they say. Ask follow-up questions. It’s not about you, it’s about getting to know them so share some but don’t make the conversation about you. Find commonalities or go deeper to understand someone very different from you. Check in again a few weeks or a month later. Keep building the relationship.

Honestly, I stay under the radar as much as possible 😅

I have to get myself out of my comfort zone for this. You should give yourself some time, but get to know people when you can. Hobbies or their goals have been good starting places for me.

If it's politically motivated maybe consider moving to another state with your specific views and you won't be targeted.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?
