Be humble and willing to help out on anything, even if it’s “beneath” you or not something you’re interested in. Don’t keep referring back to “how I did it at my old firm”. The new firm isn’t perfect, none are, and constantly pointing out faults in your new firm’s system will just annoy people. The faster you learn the processes and admin crap the better. Be a part of the team and get involved with some outside work social stuff.
