I am going to join soon. What do i prepare before joining. I am in software engineer track in machine learning. Any tips for a new employee?
Read the book “Your First 90 Days”
Reach out to your manager or any future team mates and ask if they have any recommendations. I'd say a good place to get started is to read some of the engineering blog posts.

This. I reached out to manager. He gave me a list of areas / use cases that I can go through and those would be the ones I will be working on my first 90 days
I was told to look at REST design practices. Didn’t work with REST before, any recommendations on the book?
REST design is not that difficult to learn. There are plenty of blog posts, videos and articles about it on the internet. Since you’re coming from Microsoft probably the biggest learning curve is Java and Java tooling.
Thanks. Can u tell what Java tools are used internally?
Welcome to the team! Dont stress yourself and remember to have fun. LinkedIn is not Amazon :) You'll be given enough time to learn everything you need to. Just come motivated to make an impact.
