Today was my first day at the new company, and I’m feeling pretty good about it! The people seem really nice, which definitely helps ease the nerves. The only downside? The drive is a bit of a pain, and the early start is much earlier than I’m used to. But I’m excited for this new chapter! How do you all handle transitioning to a new workplace? Any tips for making the adjustment smoother?

I’m sure you will get used to it in no time, just can feel a lot in one day when you’re used to your comfort zone. You will get there soon don’t worry. My advice is take everything in well, don’t pressure yourself too much, get some good rest after work to recharge for the next day as I know settling in can be very long working days as you’re so alert to everything and finding your feet. Well done on your new position😊

It's funny, the thing that always give me the most anxiety is meeting people and trying to remember everyone's names. I'm always impressed by people who can just do that effortlessly, for whatever reason I'll meet someone and just blank out on their name the next time I see them. And I just always feel awkward getting used to a new office. Overall, though, it's exciting to be starting a new job. Congrats on your new position!

Glad to hear your team seems welcoming — that’s half the battle. My advice is to write down everything in the early days: names, processes, random tips. It helps more than you think. As for the early starts… coffee. Lots of it.

Recruiters. You tell me a range, I tell you it’s low.

Do you think, “he’s trying to game the system?” Or, “if his agency is paying that much he must be doing something right?”

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?
