Started yesterday, only expect to be on it for 3 months. Any tips? Feel it takes at least a good month or two to learn in/outs of a new teams and the process. By time I fully grasp it’s time to leave lol

Don’t you just love that term, “backfill?” It’s so dignified.

Prioritize building relationships with the right people quickly. Ask how you can make an impact. Be helpful. Focus on impactful work to the greatest extent that you can.
