I wish someone told me this when I started. I got stuck doing all of the grunt work on my project because I didn’t establish myself from the beginning. Don’t make the same mistake I made & fight your manager as soon as you can

Meet tons of people and worry too much about performance. Demonstrate that you want to learn and be a pleasant person. The rest will come.

Aah no I think worrying too much made more sense!

Has anyone taken part of the education reimbursement program?

I’m already wearing multiple hats when it comes to work. Does anyone have insight on how it works/what it’s like? Thanks in advance!

I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?
