Ann’s Answer

The thing that surprised me the most was the realization that to stand out I didn’t just have to be smart, I had to make connections. You have to assume everyone is smart and good at their jobs as the baseline; then distinguish yourself by going above and beyond with your skill in dealing with other humans.

Ann recommends the following next steps:

Make 3 connections, improve 3 connections

Larry’s Answer

What surprised me is that the people that I work with are great. The last company, I felt the opposite of that. Things do change, and not everything is forever. I make sure that I try to be productive as much as possible in a day, and to be happy overall, because it’s more taxing to be unhappy, working at a place that you are unhappy with.
In IT, there are always the best interest in the company, and that the direction of IT can change at any moment. Be flexible, and learn new skills whenever you can.
