You may not be starting from scratch, but you've entered a new world with its own set of rules and challenges.
The First 30 Days: Onboarding as Your Tutorial Zone
Think of your first 30 days as the tutorial level in a game. You're learning the controls, testing the mechanics, and exploring the map, which, in this context, is the different departments in your company.
Your primary mission isn't to speed-run your role; instead, it's to observe, learn, and ask plenty of questions.
Tech Roles: Observe team code reviews, understand naming conventions, and grasp communication strategies.
Sales Roles: Shadow top performers to understand their workflows.
Management Roles: Learn who the key players are and gain insight into the company culture and dynamics.
Player Types and Their Strategies:
Achievers: Focus on learning KPIs and metrics, treating them like side quests.
Explorers: Dive into processes, systems, and workflows, questioning everything to understand the bigger picture.
Socializers: Prioritize building relationships and understanding team dynamics.
Killers: Analyze the competitive landscape and understand the hierarchy.
The 60 Days: Proving Ground Equals Boss Fight
From day 31 to 60, it's time for the real boss fight. By now, you're no longer a rookie; you’re proving your capability in your role through strategic actions.
Marketing Roles: Run your first campaign – start small but with impactful results.
IT or Engineering Roles: Take ownership of a project module, transitioning from backend NPC to essential team member.
Customer Service Roles: Tackle complex cases to demonstrate reliability when the team is short-staffed.

Killers: Take on significant challenges to establish your prowess.
The 90 Days: Establishing Legacy Equals Unlocking New Game+ Gear
By day 61 to 90, you're transitioning from being the new player to a core team member. You've gathered enough experience, leveled up, and are now expected to deliver consistency.
Analysts: Present your first data-backed findings to leadership, documenting everything for future use.
Designers: Lead a project from concept to delivery, showcasing your work across the company.
Leaders: Set long-term goals and influence your squad’s direction.
Player Types and Their Strategies:
Achievers: Showcase measurable results; bosses love to see a scoreboard.
