Just expect to have a steep learning curve and be ready to be uncomfortable, it’s normal.

The ambiguity will be there but just be ready to take ownership of your product and it’s generally better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Thanks all. Just some anxiety getting the better of me 😅 I fully expect a steep learning curve and bit of a culture shock. I am looking forward to the role though. I think it’s also hard leaving behind the good relationships I’ve built here and knowing how to navigate PwC. But now needing to learn it all over again. That said, there are a few directors/partners I’m happy to leave behind 😆
