Today feels intimidating. I love the office, love the people, everything about being here, but I also feel overwhelmed simply because I'm new and not really doing anything of consequence yet. I've had some meetings to go over roles and such but I don't have any accounts yet (will be on a call this afternoon with the other senior). I keep reminding myself that I've done this before, I've only been here for about 10 business hours and I have to learn before I can expect to go...I think I have higher expectations of myself than others because I feel like well damnit I should already know what to do! Have to cut myself some slack and ease in as much as I can.
So far, the perks are sweet:
Flex arrival time, anywhere between 8 and 10 am.
No tracked time, just get your shit done.
Unlimited approved PTO - they are letting me go to the beach for a week at the end of the month.
Company issued MacBook Pro plus mouse, 27" monitor, and keyboard.
Gorgeous office space with coffee, water, multiple fridges, beer and wine, snacks.
Completely free access to a full fitness center in the building next door.
Certification bonus incentives.
Performance bonus incentives.
Flat-screen TVs everywhere.
Lounge area with a hacked Raspberry Pi game system with 40gb of video game ROMs, from Atari 2600 up to SNES and possibly newer.
