What have you learned about this role that you wish someone would've told you before you entered the industry?
I probably wish I had known a little bit more about how to navigate big companies. It was a bit of a different experience for me when I first started this role.
There were two things I needed to learn: the job itself and what that day-to-day role looks like. But then there was also how to access all that Google has to offer.
When you're coming in from a startup experience into a big company, it's a bit of an adjustment. I wish I had a little more guidance and context, and had learned more about how to best utilize or acclimate before taking on this role.
