It's a bit hard to write this down in a HN comment. I would guess the best answer to that is, be genuinely curious about other people.



Wish someone here had advice for an absolute beginner who is about to graduate and get into the working sector.


1. if you hate your company culture it's not going to get better without effort. either get out or start trying to improve it yourself

2. networking in your company is not possible if you're in a job that is below your capabilities, go out and find your tribe asap.

3. take people out for coffee/food/drinks(depending on your culture)

4. attend every tech event in your area regardless of your interest/skill level. create tech events in your area for your interests


Thank you so much.
