I currently have a whole stack of thoughts about this as today kicks off the 2nd week of a new job for me. I'm a sys admin who has worked in a range of environments big and small. My new job is once again returning to a "big" environment. I feel that the tips which would help me in this role are completely different to tips which would have helped in my last role which was in a small environment. The one which I'm 100% confident is good for both is: record every piece of work you do. The tip from the link here about rating each piece of work is something which I'd overlooked, but will start doing. I've used trello religiously since I became aware of its existence. It was a real challenge to build the habit, but as I've matured and gained experience in various work places I've set aside my youthful ideas which went somewhere along the lines of: "I know I'm good at my job, my work should speak for its self. If people up the chain of command can't realize my worth based on my output then I don't want to work under them anyway." Now I'm more focused on doing the following: #1 - find out what my manager thinks is the #1 priority I should be working on - ensure that his/her boss thinks the same thing - crush the hell out of that task #2 - look for opportunities which are too "low level" for my manager to think about - bring them to his/her focus Far too often I used to have those around backwards.
