    Pro tip: Learn all you need to know at least 6 months before your first day. Sorry, you missed the boat.

    Seriously, there are so many tips, you need to start at the links on the right and work your way through the whole lot

    And good luck.

      Befriend the receptionist and IT support, and you won't go far wrong.

        If you're in London, and were planning to get the tube to work, make sure you have a plan B....

            don't take a single day off, and then take every penny yourCo has out on 5th April next year.

                Open up Terminal, connect to a server, type 'tail -f /var/adm/messages' and stare at it nodding disapprovingly/approvingly at it every so often, install 'poo-timer', check out the totty, determine which trap in the bogs has the best wifi/3g connectivity, check if the toilet seat/bowl shape is suitable for wanking whilst sitting, check said bogs for 'Bob bogies' on the walls and footmarks combined with tulipt-stains on the seats.

                Scope the newest boozer/Greggs/Subway/BrewDog, seek out a kindred spirit in the office and main with him/her/it, and that's it!

                    The Greggs £2 bacon roll (barm) and a coffee deal is hard to beat.
