Hello all. I'm an international student and recently received an offer. It's literally my first full-time job in my life and I have zero knowledge how this would be. Could you please share some experience with me, like some hidden rules (I don't know if this exists), "you'd better do" ways, or anything? 'Cause I truly have no working experience at all so whatever you share would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
Your employer will hopefully, because of the cost of sponsorship, have a plan on place for your on-boarding. Take notes, you will be overwhelmed, they expect that too. Take a breath, no one expects you to be God's gift, you've got a long time to learn, and a lot to boot. Focus y what you bring to the firm and focus on that first, your weaknesses will become illuminated, and then you can tackle those as well.
Thank you so much for the reply! Yes I'm in US. I feel like a little bit easier when you said I would definitely overwhelmed haha

just expect to be overwhelmed and don't think that means you're doing anything wrong. it's actually an appropriate response to new situations and major learning.
Looking for advise about my first job

It's fair to assume that you are in the US?
