I recently moved to a Head of Engineering role and bought myself this book - https://www.amazon.com.au/First-Days-Updated-Expanded-Strate... - "First 90 days". It... helped. Nothing was really a surprise, but it did put some structure and strategy into what I needed to do to make sure that I transition well and... well.. to a certain extent "play the game".

I am reading this book at the moment, recommended by my mentor. Though it's so far good. However, I find it more attuned towards people with leadership roles. Yes, I do want to become a leader in my new company one day, but it feels a bit tangent.

I have order another book for the same purpose to get insights from two angles.

Thank you, I’ll check it out.
