Quick chat with the team lead

Your new manager looks for four things in every team member: someone who is reliable on deadlines, efficient with their time, confident in meetings, and satisfied with the team and the work. If you are reliable, the team can plan ahead. If you are efficient, you finish more in the same hours. A confident team member shares clear opinions in meetings. A satisfied team member stays with the company longer.

The manager also checks that your desk has the basics — a clean monitor, a black keyboard, and a notebook for quick notes.
