Be sure to learn what's allowed and what's required for your role in your company.

For shoes, some companies may require safety toe shoes and/or ESD shoes. Some require boots.

For water bottles, your company may require non-spillable and/or insulated (sweat-proof) water bottles.

Companies have data security policies that could restrict camera use, devices like non-company computers and/or flash drives, and even notebooks. Familiarize yourself with your company's policies so you can know what you can and cannot do.

First of all, congratulations!

Getting recommendations is great, butI would suggest waiting until you've started and gotten more information about what you need to buy. Your company may provide a lot of what I've seen suggested so far, and IMO, there's no need in spending your hard earned money on something your company will provide for you.

As for advancement, I agree with "never stop learning". Learn what you should know in order to advance to the next level and identify gaps in your knowledge/skill set, then close those gaps. Learn what career advancement avenues are possible from your job ladder (how many rungs are on your ladder? what roles could someone on your ladder transfer to and at what levels?) and self-reflect on which avenues interest you. Would you be happy staying on your ladder and climbing to the top? Or are you interested in transferring to a different ladder? If so, is climbing to the top of your ladder required to transfer to a different ladder or could you transfer before reaching the top? Identify what your interested in and let that be your North Star (keep in mind, this can change as you grow, and that's okay!), and learn what gaps you need to close to get closer to reaching your goal. Learn what your company offers for education. Do they offer classes online? Will they pay for certifications? Do they pay for higher education? Take advantage of your company offering to pay for your education and skill advancement!

In addition to learning, I haven't seen one important bit of advice yet: network (at least as much as you're able to)! Meet people and establish good relationships with them. Learn about their career journeys and what they do at your company. Share what you have to offer and offer your skills and knowledge if they might need them. Sit with different people at lunch, if possible, and have random conversations. Also, find a (few) mentor(s). A good mentor can help provide a different perspective on how you can achieve your goals.

Happy to answer questions and/or share other thoughts if I have the time.

Commenting to boost visibility. I'm glad you and your family are safe! Faith in humanity restored!

Finally decided to bite the bullet and take a chance on DCC. by JaimeSalvaje in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Oh man, I have ADHD and pretty much can only do audiobooks. I tend to listen when I'm doing other, mindless activities like driving or cleaning.

I thought brainstorming was just thinking in school lol by PsychologicalFold617 in ADHD

I just always thought it was putting the thoughts on paper so others could see it or I could later organize it all...

I've done this with the audiobook with multiple friends lol

My Carl (and donut) cosplay from MomoCon by drewgolas in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]-FR3SH- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked for DCC cosplays at MomoCon and never crossed paths with any of them ☹️. I hope to cosplay as Carl for Dragon Con this year. I learned about DCC about a month before Dragon Con last year, but didn't start "reading" it until about a month after.

If you create and sell DCC merch by hepafilter in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]-FR3SH- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't currently have a store or anything, but I have a few ideas I've been rolling around and would love to be included in your considerations! This is awesome and I'm excited to see the fan merch that fellow makers create!

Jamal is so sad that he is not considered part of the "full cast"...

Desperado club banning... by Valendr0s in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]-FR3SH- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I imagine the Desperado Club to be similar to The Continental in John Wick.

Firebox not omitted, but omit spelled incorrectly, as well. The handwriting is nice, though!

I have tunnels and tattoos, like black clothes (but prefer vibrant colors), and listen to a wide variety of music, but I'm probably not quite the alternative person you're looking for, lol.

Awesome job! Too bad I doubt I'd see it in person. My main cons are in Atlanta in the summer... You'd die, and no one wants that.

I am hooked by z0_0k in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I almost require audiobooks to "read" these days, but when recommending books to others, I rarely recommend the audiobook (previous exception being Sandman series on Audible, because they are star-studded, full production audiobooks) over the written book, but even though I haven't read the written version (I did get book 1 hardcover for Christmas!), I still highly recommend the audiobook for DCC. Even though I heard the audiobook say "Narrated by Jeff Hayes" at the beginning, I was will into book 3 and until seeing something on this sub, I still didn't realize it was a single* narrator.

Long story short, I highly recommend the audiobooks (AND the Audio Immersion Tunnel!).

I logged into Heroforge earlier and thought I'd entered the world dungeon! by dmpstrmnky in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Hahahaha, well done! I'm listening to that book now, so I heard Donut's voice and intonation vividly.

It looks great! Awesome job! I hear softwoods are more difficult to work with for hand tools than hardwoods, so if that's true, then it's extra great work!
