What have you learned about this role that you wish someone would have told you before you entered the industry?
I wish somebody would have told me that. I don't know, per se.
I think it's such an improvement from my last job that I don't really think there's anything glaring. I'm not thinking, "Oh, they got me."
I think that's true for a lot of jobs. I'm just very happy with the work I get to do at the moment.
