Just joined Uber at L5 as a PMM (TC:$275K, YOE:8)
What are some best practices to make a good first impression, ramp up quickly and start making an impact in a new job?
Also any tips for working with leadership, product, sales and other cross-functional teams?
Thank you 🙏🏼

1. Ask your manager who're the 5 people you'll work with the most - and have 1:1s with them as soon as possible. Ask them for the top 5 people they think you should meet.
2. Go to virtual offsites, and overall be friendly and engaged, you can build great relationships this way, so your stakeholders will advocate on your behalf and get you involved into high impact projects (for the sheer reason that you're pleasant to work with).
3. Reply to group emails sharing relevant insights from your previous experience or ideas to test - this way you'll be known across the org quickly. Bonus points if your ideas are actually good.
4. Identify the "power teams" - they might be different in different companies. Those are teams that are getting called out a lot in all hands, have their own newsletters, etc. Try to get assigned to the projects they're on whenever possible. In many tech companies those would be product management or data science teams.
5. Added: be informal with higher-ups. Reply to VP promotion emails/announcements to congratulate them; or send a slack after their presentations on all hands saying you liked it/calling out particularly memorable parts - you'd be surprised how few people actually do that because they think VP are demigods and won't care for a simple human gesture.
