Just finished week 2 of the new job

It's less hitting the ground running and more hit yhe ground face first and being dragged behind a motorbike by the ankles. Have a really good support network though. New boss (who's in a similar situation as me) and old boss is still in the company and mega helpful.

Finished work at 4 today and slept till 630 🤣

Chilling oot with a beer watching geek stuff on YouTube on 80s puters..

Got oot and caught a couple nice pics of the aurora last night and renewed my gym membership after lapsing about 3 months ago.

Over all feels good man

Glad you've got a good support! Sounds like lots of positives!!

[–] Z3k3 3 points 3 weeks ago

Aye it's a mixed blessing. The job is completely different from anything I have ever done in my life to the point I actively avoided it most of my career. Toss in bad timing in terms of big stuff dew now it's stressful as fuck but I think I'm enjoying it and everyone around me is amazing

Guid tae hear aboot the gym, plenty ae tech dinnae bother, and they shuid! (me tae)

And every new role feels mad for that first 6 months. Ride it out, then ask: what do I need to improve on? It'll be easier by week 4 usually. Management also taks a couple oh years to appreciate but my top tip is under no circumstances give up that coding. 1 ticket per sprint if on 1 team. 1 review per team otherwise.
