A couple of essential things, I think, when you're starting in a new firm is to be very careful about having any criticisms or complaints. Anytime you start a position at a new firm, you are going into a new environment where things will be done differently and where you may need to be used to how things are done at that firm.
So every firm is different. Some firms may have different expectations and wherever you're coming from. So if you came from a smaller firm and are going into a more prominent firm, there may be different expectations. You're going to a smaller firm, and there may also be different expectations.
