Hi,
There're a couple of forums I like visiting and I thought I'd post there the situation I'm going through and get the forum members' opinion and tips about that.
I've been working so far for a very small hi-tech company as an hardware engineer (however, I'm still an electric engineering student).
It is my first job in hi-tech.
As some of you might know, the work routine in small companies is very unique:
Bad things:
- Very tensed work
- You got lots of responsibilities and things to take care of (which means less private time and many worries)
- Your personal desk is always messy as you get your hands dirty with many things (soldering circuits, testing boards, debugging modules, and so on)
- You find yourself stay up late occasionally
Good things:
- You are exposed to many technologies and get great experience in many different fields
- Lots of joking around with the guys
- You make a difference
I'm about to start off a new job in a very large company.
In my current job, I occupy a position of hardware and software development, and in my future job, I'll occupy a position of HW and SW verification, which is totally different.
I'd like to have your opinions about how should I professionally and socially behave in my new job, while taking into account that:
- I'm moving from my first job in a very small company to a very large company
- My position changes from HW and SW development to HW and SW verification
For example, How would you suggest recording all the new things I'll be taught during my first months, how oftenly shall I ask my co-workers questions and how to approach them about that, anything that crosses your mind.
Thank you very much.
