10 things i wish someone told me before my first corporate job 1. your manager's perception of you matters more than how hard you actually work — manage up early 2. reply to emails within 24hrs even if it's just "got it, on it" — visibility is currency 3. take notes in every meeting. write them up after. send a summary. you will stand out. 4. find out how leadership thinks about performance before your first review 5. the people who get promoted aren't always the hardest workers — they're the most visible ones 6. learn the unwritten rules in your first 90 days. every office has them. 7. your calendar is a power move. block time before others fill it. 8. cc your boss when you close something big — not to brag, to document 9. relationships with peers > trying to impress leadership early on 10. it's okay to not know everything. asking smart questions > pretending you do. save this for later #corporatelife #careertips #newjob #workadvice #consulting
