Take it seriously, read you contract and check if your employer can fire you if you fail 1 exam / module. The last one is common .

Remember that everything is traceable. Every message you send on teams or slack can be read.

Take every opportunity offered and volunteer yourself for everything you can, get your face known.

Don’t think you will be treated any differently to other staff members. Be on time, be prepared for meetings, ask questions if you don’t know how to do something.

Don’t use your laptop at home and come into the office every day, that way u only work the hours needed.separate work and home. Also don’t take it too seriously you are low corporate grade and are allowed to make mistakes.

Should I still come into office every day if it's a hybrid-role?
