I agree with Kat. This absolutely brilliant post applies to most tech roles, particularly if you're remote. The questions you suggested to start building relationships are gold. On a side note, I have just a small observation. When you say, "I'm still earning to balance..." I think you meant, "I'm still learning to balance...". Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the world. I will definitely continue reading your blog.

Very informative post! Even though this is written with DevRels in mind, this is great info to follow for SWEs too, esp building a 1,3, and 6-month plan with your manager and making friends before you need them.

Congrats on the (relatively) new role!

Thank you so much, and that's true some of this is applicable to many tech-related roles!
