Title says all - just started as L4 in AWS

more specifically,

1. how to get to know your peers & network. since everything is remote its hard to set up 1-1s with everyone.. should I just randomly email anyone inside the org and ask for 1-1?

2. extension of #1 - who is my mentor? should I pick anyone for this as well?

3. I know this differs by different team critically, but out of curiosity - when do L4 SDEs usually get assigned (even the littlest task)? Around 1 month? 3 month? weeks? trainings are rewarding but there are a lot, and idk if I can continue the tasks as well as actual assignments.

any tips are appreciated!

    1. Ur manager prolly will give u an onboarding plan. Typically has a formal section to meet some teammates 1:1. Additionally, u should feel free to grab anyone else for an intro 1:1, esp if you’re working on the same stuff.

    2. Manager will assign one to start with but feel free to grab anyone else. Don’t think of mentorship as a formal thing; any1 can be ur mentor if yall click.

    3. By week 2 or 3 but ask for a task if you feel ready earlier.
