Find your go-to rotation of music and podcasts so you can immediately plug in when you want to get in the zone. I highly recommend checking out https://brain.fm. I pay like $6.99/mo (about same as my Spotify subscription) and it has been an absolute gamechanger for me. Piano music, lo-fi, classical music are also great places to start if you have Spotify.

For podcasts, which aren't always great since they can be distracting, I've been enjoying Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast lately. It's absolutely hysterical hearing him rant for a few hours every week.

I'd recommend the complete opposite - don't wear headphones for the first few weeks. The micro interactions that you get in the work place can make or break your relationships with your new colleagues.

That's actually a fair counterpoint. Take my advice once you're settled in for those times you do just want to be heads down and focus.
