My current company onboarding was bad - didnt get trained and had questions all the time after. I am paying closer attention to onboarding experiences now. A strong start makes a big difference especially with so many moving parts. What onboarding elements support long-term success? Whats reasonable to ask when getting started?

Asking for role expectations, key contacts, and a roadmap for your first few weeks is totally reasonable and helps build a strong foundation.

If I'm feeling brave and sensing a red flag or two, I ask "what will be the expectations for me the first few days on the job?" However, I mostly don't want to risk a possible job offer, and will take the gamble.

It's a good question to even ask during interview stage. For me having a buddy I could ask silly questions made my onboarding much smoother

About to quit a job in just one month of joining... what should I do...just hit the exit button, or keep a call with the Manager or the HR?

What are the things that I should say as the reason to quit so that I face the least issues.
I am just quitting for a better opportunity but don't want to burn the bridges here at the same time.

Would request the experienced fishes to help me with this. I am new to these kind of situations and really need help with how to handle this.
