How To Handle the First Day at Your New Job

Josh Felgoise (00:00.206)

Welcome to Guy's Set, the guy's guide to what you should be talking about. I'm Josh, I'm 23 years old, and I'm here to find all the tips, advice, and recommendations for guys in their 20s. Let's get into it.

Josh Felgoise (00:18.03)

Hi guys, welcome back to guyset, the guys guide to what should be talked about today. first of all, happy new year for all who are celebrating everyone celebrating. So happy new year to everybody. And I hope you had a fun new year if you went out, if you didn't. I hope it was a good time and I hope you set some good resolutions for yourself and are looking at the new year and today with a positive mindset and are just like feeling good about the new year.

And if you didn't have the best new year, go back and listen to my last episode called Happy New Year. And I talk about New Year's Eve and feeling anxious and overwhelmed and FOMO and just like not being so into the night of New Year's Eve. And I think I gave some good advice about that overall. It just is another day. It's literally this year. It was a Sunday. It's just another day. So there's really no reason to put so much pressure on it. And if you have big goals for yourself, you can start today. You can start

or smogles. You can have them today, can start today, start tomorrow. Just because it's January 2nd doesn't mean, or January 3rd whenever you're listening to this, doesn't mean you can't have those goals and keep them going. And just because it was the first of the year doesn't mean you fall off because you need to wait for the next first of the year. I hope you like that episode. I've gotten a lot of feedback that the ending was way too long and someone told me that they

There we go. That's nice. He wrapped it up and looked at the time and there was still six minutes left. I think I a little while on that episode. I recorded late at night, so that's probably not my best time to record. We're learning. But yeah, so happy new year to all who celebrate. this week I am starting my new job. So I thought this was a good time to kind of sit down and just talk about how I'm feeling about the new job and

When starting a new job, you are like the new character joining an already successful show in a new season. So you already love the characters you like. You want to know what happens to their plot. You want to know what happens to the relationships. And then this new character comes in and you're like, a second, who the fuck is this guy? And why is he here? And why is he now messing up the relationships between my favorite characters? Like who the fuck does he think he is? And then after a couple of episodes, you're like, okay.

Josh Felgoise (02:39.34)

I can actually see him ending up with the main girl and I actually kind of like him and he's got a lot to say and he's good things to say. He may talk a lot, but I like what he has to say. And then after the whole season, you made it through the full season and it's a season finale and you're like, well, how did the new guy end up with the main girl? And why do I now like him better than I liked the other characters? Why do I equally like him to the other characters?

And when the new season comes, that character is now a series regular. no longer a guest star in the credits and they're making the same salary or a higher salary than the other characters. And everyone's like, everyone wants to know what happens to his plot and is excited to see what happens to him and the relationships that he's built. So think about yourself that way as a new character. It's much less daunting to think about it as a TV show, like the office, like you're a new character and people have to warm up to you. They have to see if they like you. At first they may not. People are very quick to judge.

And then after a second or so, they're like, okay, I can see how this guy's going to add to the, to the vibe or to the company or to the show. And then after a little more, you're like, all right, I actually like this guy. So let people, let people take some time to warm up to you and get to know you. And then they're going to like you. So that's the starting point of this episode. Think about it that way and frame yourself in that perspective of being in a TV show. You're the new character to an already successful show in a new season, like a season three, season four edition. The first thing anybody asks you when you're starting a new job,

is are you nervous to start and like how are you feeling about it? And I wasn't nervous about starting or about the new job until like this week when it, I think it finally started to feel real to me that I like left that one job and am now joining a new company. And like even when I was talking about it, I listened back to the other, the episode called I Quit My Job, I think it was episode 27, when I just talked through my whole experience of leaving and my thoughts on it.

And I really liked that episode. I'm really happy I did it, but I don't think it felt so real when I was doing it or talking about it until like it's setting in that I'm really starting something else. And I don't know, December is an interesting time because it doesn't like, feel like nobody's really in the office right now. People are going on trips. People are going away. Uh, Christmas time, New Year's like a lot of people are out of office and when the new year starts, it becomes real again. So I think I left it an interesting time that it

Josh Felgoise (05:06.218)

It didn't matter so much or doesn't feel as real and now trying to feel real. So am I nervous? Yeah, like I am. I'm more nervous now than I was before I start. I'm recording this like two days before. is this episode will be this episode will be released on the day that I start the job. So yeah, like I am nervous and I thought this is good time to do a refresher episode on the episode three I did on called tips for going to work and like

tips for the office because I gave those tips probably like a almost a year into my first job and starting a new job feels different. Like I'm more nervous now than I was that I definitely had a confidence to me that I didn't have in the first couple weeks of that job. So I wanted to do a refresher of things that I'm going to be doing like the day you're hearing this or this week that I think are going to set me up for success at the next place or the next job. And I think you should too if you're starting a new job and I think

these are just helpful tips. So that's gonna be the bulk of this episode, but I wanted to just start off by saying, like, yeah, I am nervous. Like, I'm gonna be real about it. Like, starting something new is always nerve wracking. There's always some, like, I don't know. I'm feeling weird about, I'm feeling good about it and confident in my decision and the fact that I am going to something new and starting something new. I feel like starting something new is always a good thing. And I do genuinely believe you are at the place you're in for a reason.

and I'm confident in the decision and starting. So that, when I think about it in that respect, I feel good. but going into meet new people and starting a new job and not knowing if you can meet the requirements or fulfill the expectations of your new boss or the people above you or the team, or if people are going to think you're not a good fit for the office or,

If people are going to think you're not like good enough to be there, there's always those thoughts of, what's it called? It's like, what's the, or feeling like you have imposter syndrome for starting a new role or having that position or title and like, how did I get there? Why am I here? And do I belong here? And just feeling a lot of self doubt and, just a lot of self doubt I think is what I'm trying to say. there's a lot of that in starting a new job. And if you can just like meet the role and, and

Josh Felgoise (07:33.206)

succeed. And there's just worry there and there's anxiety and there's all the things that I talk about on here. And I'm feeling all of that right now. Genuinely, I'm it's starting to feel much more real. Like when I go to pack up my backpack for the first day and go to walk in, it's going to feel really real. And just walking into the to the doors the first day is a nerve wracking thing. So I'm to start there. So let me give you some tips for

Starting a new job instead of just tips for going to work. This is tips for starting a new job These also work for if you're in a current job, too, you can keep listening. Don't don't stop listening. Okay, my first tip is Pick a pick a hype song for yourself to listen to okay walk drive, whatever you're doing However, getting to the work train however you get to your job pick a hype song a song that makes you feel good makes you feel confident makes you feel like you're the fucking best and Put that on right before you walk in the doors

Maybe like a second, like a minute before you walk in and then give yourself like a second to calm down, but hype yourself up. Like that's my first piece of advice. I love using a hype song before anything I've talked about using it before a presentation, before an interview. This type of thing just helps me. there's gotta be something scientific to it to hyping yourself up with something that you've like getting yourself to feel confident and shaking away all those nerves and that self doubt.

because you're going to feel that way on the, on the way in and the night before, the night before, let's talk about that before I go into the rest of it. The night before I personally get very worried about things that I before, and maybe it leads me to not sleep and just get overwhelmed and anxious at night. So I don't know what I'm going to do to fix that. I probably take some melatonin or something, but I'm going to try writing out all the thoughts, fears and doubts you have in yourself.

and just getting them all out in front of your face. Seeing all of them instead of keeping them all in your brain and in your mind as a mush, I think helps a lot. So get that all out and then from there I think you can build into the self-determination, the self-confidence in yourself, seeing that all and then be like, okay, this one's not that reasonable because I feel like I can actually, I feel like I'm better than that one. Or this one is reasonable because it's very normal to feel nervous about going into a first job.

Josh Felgoise (09:56.31)

And this one's normal because maybe I won't meet the expectations of my new boss, but I know with time and with conversations and with work ethic and practice and patience, I can get to that position or get to that place. So go down that list and kind of like rebuttal or rebuff each of those things and, and prove to yourself why you are better than those doubts and those fears. so that's my first tip.

I talk about writing a lot and I'm sorry I talk about it so much, I truly, truly, truly believe in it and I think you should too. And then my next tip is also for the same night, pull out your clothes and what you're going to wear for work the next day and have it ready and have it packed so you don't feel stressed in the morning about picking an outfit, especially for a first day, second day, first week. Don't be stressed about picking your outfit in the morning and pull it out the night before, lay it on the chair, put it in a bag, whatever you want to do.

I said put in a bag because I go to the gym in the morning and that's my next tip. We'll talk about that. But pull out your outfit because that kind of sets your mind right for the next day. You already know what you're going to wear. You already feel a little bit more confident because you've gone through your thoughts and your fears and your doubts. And then yeah you're you're you're setting yourself up for success for the morning. You don't feel rushed or worried or anxious. And then my next step is to go to the gym or go get some type of movement in. If it's a walk if it's a run.

If it's just walk around your block or something like before you go to put the work clothes on, get some sort of movement in so you can feel a little more clear before you go in and talk to all these people and meet all these people and start the new job in the first day. I recommend going to the gym because I've found that lifting and working out and getting some sort of like cardio in has really helped me mentally. I just feel like it keeps my mind clear and I feel more confident that way. So

Get some sort of movement in. I recommend a walk. I think that's perfect. And then come back, shower, if you're showering at the gym, whatever, and then put on the clothes you've already pulled out. Drink some water. Drink a lot of water. I think drinking water is, I'm kind of like step by step running you through what I'm gonna do in the morning. But drink a lot of water. think hydrating is very underrated and like we, it sounds foo foo to like stay hydrated, but it's not. Like it's actually.

Josh Felgoise (12:15.448)

There's something there. They're not lying. They've been saying that for a reason and we just don't believe them. But there is something there to staying hydrated. So drink a lot of water. And then when you go in get that hype song on. And if you can't find your hype song. Maybe I'll make a playlist. I think I'll make a playlist of hype songs. Of things that can hype you up and make you feel good before going into work. I think this is good for any day. You can do this anytime if you're just feeling like down or anxious or

tired or lazy, just put on a hype song and get yourself going. So I'll make a playlist and I'll put that on my Instagram and Spotify. It'll be guyset on Spotify so you can find me there. I just thought about that now. And then what else? Oh, okay. So when walking in, I talked about this in the third episode, but if you're new here, hi, welcome. Thanks for listening. When you're walking in, if you're going up the stairs, if you're going up an elevator,

Don't wear your AirPods or headphones into the office. Make sure when you're walking in, you're present and you're focused. You're not listening to music. So if someone wants to say hi to you or talk to you, you don't have to pull your AirPod out and be like, shit, sorry, what would you say? Like you can already, you're already present. You're already listening to them. You don't have to be like, fuck. And then like pause the song and then out loud plays unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield and you're feeling super awkward.

Maybe that's just me. Maybe that's just me. But don't like set yourself up for success right when you walk in. Right. So don't have the headphones or the air pods in. Just be present and be ready to have a conversation with anybody and just be focused. And I think this tip also works or also goes for common spaces kitchens any areas in the office where there's going to be people congregating. Don't have headphones in.

because it makes you look unavailable and it makes the person who wants to talk to you not want to talk to you because they're like, they're they're not they don't they don't want to be talked to because that's the universal sign of having your headphones in is don't fucking talk to me. So instead of looking unavailable and being closed off to new people, open yourself up, open yourself up, be open to the conversations by just being present. So not having headphones in, not being distracted.

Josh Felgoise (14:39.276)

Also not going on your phone in those spaces, not just like randomly scrolling Instagram or TikTok or texting as like a crutch. We all do that. We all use it as a crutch when we're in awkward scenarios, like if you're in an elevator, like, or if you're in any awkward scenario, I feel like the best thing that we have now is pulling out our phones to just kind of scroll randomly. I've done it myself where I'm just like not even looking at it. I'm like scrolling the app pages or like zooming in and out of something to make it look like I'm doing something. Like we've all done that. We've all been there.

But don't do that in the office, think. The tip is to not, I'm not telling you don't do it. Do whatever you want. But my tip here is to not do that in the office because it makes you look closed off and not willing to chat. And especially in the first couple weeks, you wanna meet new people and talk to them and be open to conversation. So, and like make connections. Like start your network of people in the company right then and there. And it makes you look great.

On the same note of making connections and networking, I really like having a coffee chat mentality. talked, that's like a term that I use for it. I don't think it exists. I made it up. Be willing to, when you have a conversation with somebody, be like, oh, let's have a coffee chat or let's get a coffee. I don't think anybody says let's have a coffee chat. So don't say that. If you don't know what that is, the term is coffee chat. When you're sitting down with somebody for 15 to 30 minutes and chatting about what they do, what you're doing.

what did I always ask somebody like, what advice do you have for me at this company or in this role? I ask them what they like and don't like about the company, what I should know coming in, anything that they, I just asked for like a lot of advice and I kind of see the conversation toward them, because this is especially for a new person, but I think a coffee chat is great for any position or any time you're in a role. it also just gives you like a 30 minute break of the day to chat.

I'm obviously pretty chatty and if you're even if you're not I think it it helps create connections and build a network so be willing to ask people like hey do you want to do you have 30 minutes to just like chat about just do you have chat about I don't know what about do you have 30 minutes to just like have a chat or do you want to go grab a coffee or do you want to get lunch today or these are just different ways to say that different different ways to ask for that coffee chat I usually say like hey do you to grab a coffee or do you want to

Josh Felgoise (17:04.556)

have a coffee for 30 minutes. I'll add it to, can I add a time to your Cal? People say, be willing to have a coffee chat mentality and just ask people to chat with you. or just to have a, I keep saying chat to have a conversation, have a quick, like 30 minute chat and be the one to initiate those. Don't wait for people to ask you because again, if you're the new person, or even if you're not, don't wait for people to ask you because why, why wait? You can ask them yourself even, and I think this works for any

Position at the company. I think I mean I started at a smaller company and the next one is also it's a startup so I think It doesn't hurt to ask anybody for 15 minutes to chat about what they do and and ask for advice And I think most people are willing to to talk to you. So I think you can ask whatever position I mean to a respectable degree I don't think I'm I don't think I'd ever ask the CEO for a coffee chat But I think you could ask like the head of whatever for a chat. I don't think it hurts

If they say no and they don't have time, okay, they say no and you look like you've reached out and you have some balls on you to reach out. Like I don't think it hurts to reach out. Being rejected and getting a no when you're already in the company and you're literally just asking to talk to somebody isn't a bad look. So don't be afraid to reach out to anybody at any level, I really think. But as I said, like to a respectable degree, don't reach out to the CEO and be like, hey, you got 30 minutes?

The next one is also about like building networks, communication, read the room. Okay. Don't start with your, your fart joke right off the bat. I'm sure I know you have them. I know you got them. I have them too, but you don't have to rip your fart joke right off the bat. I think that can wait for week three when you're a little more comfortable and people like know who you are a little more, save the fart joke for them. Read the room in the first couple of weeks. You don't need to be the class clown on the first day.

Save that for the next couple weeks when you're a little more comfortable. read the room and just make sure that you're not like being too too out there too early. And you don't want people to be like turned off to you. But don't at the same in the same vein like don't don't not be who you are because like they're going to like you for who you are no matter what. So don't like hide your personality. But I mean I think I'm just saying this for me because I I get I get too comfortable too quickly. But save the fart joke for a couple of weeks.

Josh Felgoise (19:22.496)

Okay, the next tip is also kind of, I think most of this is about like communication and meeting people and talking. Lunchtime. I think one of the best ways to meet people and start making friends and community and community, start making friends and coworker friends and connections at work is to ask people to have lunch in the same vein of a coffee chat. think.

I mean, it's a little bit more

Ask them something that they want to work on in the future and something they're currently working on. Three great questions right there that that build conversation. If you have anything else to say, people can talk about what they're working on and people like talking about themselves and making themselves sound good. So bring those bring those three things up. If more come up in my head throughout, I'll bring them up. But those should have been said earlier. I think it's always good to ask people about a project that they take pride in.

Okay, back to lunch. So for lunch, being the new person, I think it's great to ask someone and be like, hey, what's your favorite lunch spot around here? Do you want to go grab it? Like, do you want to go walk there and get lunch and we can bring it back and eat here? We can eat there, whatever you prefer. But ask somebody to go get lunch with you or ask the team to get lunch. Again, I don't think you have to wait for these types of things. I don't think it comes off as forward. I think it comes off as confident and just shows that you're willing to

be a part of the team and be a team player and you want to make connections right off the bat. And I think this is great to do for a lot of different people. So if your company's big, if your company's small, whatever, I think individual lunches are one of the best ways to meet people and make friends. And if they're in a group, that's fine too. But that's one of the best ways that I used it my last company and I take my lunch time very seriously. I don't know how a lot of other companies operate, but I take my time at lunch and I think it's one of the best ways to...

Josh Felgoise (21:43.416)

take a break in the day and meet people. So the next thing I think is more about work is saying yes to a lot. I think with boundaries, right? Like you're not just saying yes to every single thing and working insane hours and feeling super overwhelmed right off the bat. But I think saying yes to a lot just shows that you are excited to be there and willing to step up. So I recommend saying yes to projects, saying yes to meetings, saying yes to calls.

Even if you're not super interested in the call and somebody invites you to it, I think it's nice to say yes and listen in and now you have another conversation topic with that person. So I joined, I feel like a lot of calls at my last job that weren't super relevant to what I was doing, but it just showed that I was willing to be there. And like, I know that can be time consuming and annoying to sit in a call that may not seem so relevant, but especially in the beginning, I think it's important to say yes to things and just show that you're a team player.

So say yes to a lot, obviously with boundaries, don't overwork yourself and feel like you're doing too much. So say yes to a lot. The next tip is about showing up and leaving. Show up at an appropriate time. I mean, I think the kind of cardinal rule, is that a phrase? Cardinal rule for showing up and leaving, showing up at least I think is nine a.m. for most jobs. Some jobs it's eight thirty, some jobs it's eight. I haven't been given a time to show up.

But I'm going to and I think a lot of people aren't and I think it's a scary thing to have to just like pick your time on your own. I think 850 is a great kind of base there. Show up a little early. You're not insanely early and just sitting there like twiddling your thumbs, but you show that you're on time and ready to be there. So like 859, I think is a great time to show up and then leaving. think leaving I said that funny leaving I think is the best. It's the best to leave after your boss. So let them set.

the time that you leave, let them set the rule there. At my last job, I always left after my boss. Even if it was the minute after the elevator doors closed after they left, I would leave right after. But I would just make a point to stay until after they left. And I don't know if it was noticed. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but it felt like I was doing the appropriate thing, especially in the beginning. So leave after your boss leaves. And again, if they're staying till like crazy, crazy hours, I think you can ask them.

Josh Felgoise (24:09.728)

when is good for me to go, especially if you're new or like when do want me to stay until and they'll probably tell you right then and there. Most of these questions can be answered by asking, but a lot of the times in a first week or first job or next job or next role, they don't give you these types of boundaries and things you're supposed to be doing. So that's the point of this episode. But don't. Yeah. So show up on on a good time and leave at a good time.

and leave when it feels respectable. And as you get more comfortable with the job and with the role and with the team, then you can start showing up a little later and leaving a little earlier. And when everyone's comfortable with everybody and they know you've gotten your work done and the day is done for you, think. But I think for the first couple of weeks, show up and leave at a good time. Okay, the next thing is, I should have said this for coffee chats. Fuck, this is the one I keep messing up on. This was supposed to be like a long segment of coffee chat mentality, but oops.

Follow-ups, think it's really nice to send a follow-up slack or email or whatever your company uses Google meet I don't even know what that is if that's a thing I think it's a great thing to just follow up with somebody being like hey, thank you so much for the time today I really liked hearing about that project you took pride in but as back to what I was saying before I really liked hearing about what you said about the company or the the camaraderie around these halls, I really liked hearing about

your thoughts on the company and your perspective on this and I should have framed that better. When you follow up with somebody, say thank you for the time and then give them in the next sentence, give them something you took away from the conversation. It doesn't have to be like, thank you so much for the time. I took away X, but instead be like, thank you so much for the time today or thank you for the time. I really enjoyed or really liked hearing your perspective on X or really liked hearing your thoughts on this and just shows that you

cared and took some away from the conversation. They're taking time out of their day to chat with you and get to know you. So I think it's nice to have that little follow up and then be like, really look as the third sentence, be like, I really look forward to working with you more or seeing the progression of this project, or I really look forward to hanging out more, get it grabbing lunch soon or you can keep it casual and then be like, thanks again, Josh. I think that type of message, three simple sentences. Thank you for the time.

Josh Felgoise (26:35.446)

I liked hearing about this, look forward to this. Three simple sentences is all you need for a follow up, but those types of follow ups I think go a long way. And again, just show that you're excited to be there and happy that they took the time. And then just quickly, I'll probably do a full episode on happy hours because I think it's necessary. But if you have a company happy hour or dinner or celebration or something, don't drink too much. And I think that's a very...

a known thing from most people and I think most people have enough self awareness and understanding of their levels of alcohol to know that. But just don't drink too much. Don't be like the person that's super sloppy especially in your first especially in your first couple of weeks at the job. I think most people know that but I'm just saying I'm just putting it out there too because I feel like I should. It should be a part of the episode. So those are my tips for starting a new job.

I as I said, I'm nervous, but I'm feeling really confident and I think having these things in my back pocket of what to do and How to start building connections and relationships and networking are really helpful So I hope these are also helpful for you And I think if you're in your current job, these are all helpful tips regardless Like I hope you took something away if you're in in your current job and you've been there for a little bit

It's always nice to have some sort of refresher on this. definitely got out of that coffee chat mentality after the first couple of months at the last company and totally fell off from that and just, and then I had a coffee chat with this other guy randomly a few months ago and I was like, damn, that was so nice to just have a chat that took like 30 minutes out of the day and met someone new and created a new, a new connection. And I was like, I definitely lost doing that. I just hadn't done that in months at that point. And

If you take anything away from this episode, think it's it'll probably be that. think the getting off your phone in public area or like common areas and having more coffee chats are both really helpful tips and just good reminders for you. Like just just good refreshers on on what to do in at the workplace. We can all get very comfortable very quickly, especially after a month or two when.

Josh Felgoise (28:54.466)

we start to feel like we're in a groove and we feel good in the job and we feel like we're meeting the expectations, maybe succeeding, surpassing the expectations. And we just feel good about the team and the place we're at and just where we're at, that we can forget a lot of these like etiquette type of things or ways to meet new people and continue to grow our networks. So I hope these are helpful tips for you. If you're starting a new job, remember that you are the new character to an already successful show and that's okay, that's cool, it's exciting.

but it takes people a second to warm up to people, especially when you're watching a show. It takes you a second to warm up to the new character in the show and give them time, prove that you're going to become a series regular in the show, by showing up and asking good questions and, okay. One more tip. People say that no ques- no question's a dumb question. Some questions are dumb. Like that's, that's true. The, the only questions that are dumb are when you're repeating a question that's already been asked or rephrasing it.

the best thing that I would say to if you have a question about what was already asked, write it down and then ask somebody you feel comfortable with at some point that the question or maybe ask your boss be like, Hey, like I actually didn't fully understand what they were saying there. Can you like refresh me on that? Or can you explain it in different way that would help me understand the concept or what we're talking about? And other questions, I think you should always ask questions. And I think it shows that you're

paying attention and a part of the room and a part of the conversation and give your opinion don't be afraid I meant to say this earlier as well in meetings and in conversations Don't be afraid to give your opinion if just because you're the new guy and you're the new person the new person at the company don't be afraid to speak up or to be like actually I I think this or I Agree with that because of this. You don't have to be like a yes, man, or just just say something because

you want to say something, but if you feel like you have something to add, you probably do and you do. You are there for a reason. You got hired for a reason. So feel confident in your abilities. I talked a lot about me feeling like self doubt or anxious about starting a new role. You were hired for a reason. They hired you. They accepted you and they asked you and they're paying you to be there. like literally they're paying you to be there. You are on their dime. They want you to be there. So

Don't feel like you can't speak up or share your opinion. You definitely can and you absolutely should. I do get and I understand that it feels weird to be that person in the beginning that's speaking up or sharing or talking when you feel like you're the new person. But just remember like when those when those thoughts come up and you have something you want to say and you're like, probably shouldn't like they know more than me. Just remember that you're there for a reason and you were hired for a reason and they're literally paying you to be there. So you should.

To an extent, again, like you don't have to be the person saying that at every single time there's an opportunity to share or say something. But when you feel like you have something to say, say it. Okay, thank you. I hope you like this episode. If you're starting a new job, good luck. And if you're in your current job and you feel like you're not liking where you're at or you don't feel like you're meeting your potential or you feel like your company didn't give you a raise or promotion and you feel like you really deserved it and you're looking for...

a new opportunity or a new job or you're just upset with where you're at, listen to the episode, episode 27 called I quit my job. Um, and I talk a lot about all of that. Uh, and I think my biggest thing there was when you don't feel like the people above you are in positions that you want to see yourself in, or you want to be in at some point, then it's time to start looking. That's okay, but it's, it's a good learning moment and a good time to kind of have a self check and be like, all right, maybe this is time to

to look for my next thing. So listen to that episode. I think it was a really good one and would be helpful. And I hope these tips were helpful for you.
