Building upon the previous section, during the foundational phase of your career (0-3 years), it’s crucial to select a company that aligns with your professional objectives and provides a comprehensive support system.
Your employer, co-workers, supervisors, and mentors will all play significant roles in your career growth. However, the ideal support structure will vary depending on your individual strengths, weaknesses, and learning style.
If you thrive in a collaborative setting and value the assistance of your colleagues, then joining a large end-user or consultancy might be ideal. However, if you are a self-assured individual who enjoys a challenge (and has the guidance of external mentors), a solo-admin role could be an excellent fit for you.
