Onboarding into a new company requires a lot of energy and soft skills, especially if you're a manager. Multiply this by two if you've just relocated to a new country with a different culture. In this talk, I will disclose mistakes anyone can make while onboarding to a new culture from both points of view: a new employee and an employer. I want to share some insights on what can be done differently, what should be in your focus, and what small changes can improve onboarding.
Key Takeaways: - The differences between developer’s and manager’s onboarding.
