Retooled and took a dramatic class year haircut. How to make sure I don’t overstep my new seniority or lack thereof? The QOL and comp are fine for me and I love the work. I just have caught myself being maybe a little too comfortable and want to make sure I’m not giving off entitled vibes when I know I have a lot to learn in my new position.

OP I would advise generally when you're new to a firm regardless of seniority to refrain from having opinions about things. Nobody likes when the new kid complains about everything, even if you're right.

Hi Guys!

I recently got a very good offer from a Product company but the job role is Salesforce Support Manager. Though I don't mind being in support vertical but I am worried that I might drift away from SFDC Domain and get involved more in the Support process and eventually take my career away from Salesforce.
