1. Understand what exactly your team does in the first few weeks.
2. Talk to your team members and let them know a bit about your past experience and ask them all the questions you have. You’ll kinda get to know who is better at work in the team. Develop a friendly relationship with them. Try not to bug them too much but don’t hesitate if you are stuck.
3. I think PM and TPM are process oriented jobs. Understand those.
4. If not assigned a mentor ask your manager about it. Mentors are crucial for your progress in the first few months.
5. Uninstall blind as its purpose is served at this time 😃
6. Have fun! Amazon is not as bad as what blind projects. I have been here for 4.5 yrs and I still love working here!
7. Last one but important - Understand how to change teams. If you don’t like your current team switch to new one after 6 months.
