Plan Your First 30 Days at a New Job

Week one and you already do not know where the good coffee is, let alone how decisions actually get made here. This paces out the first month: what to prioritise early, when to start asking sharper questions, and one small, sensible contribution to attempt by week four.

<task>
**Build a staged plan for the first month:**
1. Week 1: what to prioritise (learning names, systems, and the unwritten rules, not proving yourself yet)
2. Week 2: what to start doing (asking better questions, spotting how decisions actually get made)
3. Weeks 3 and 4: what to attempt (a small visible contribution that fits the role, without overreaching)
4. List three questions worth asking a manager in the first week
5. List one common first-month mistake to avoid
</task>
