- The first day at an SI company is spent commuting to headquarters or the client's site. When going to headquarters, you will study with your personal laptop, and when going to the client's site, you will have time to set up your laptop, meet project team members, and greet them.
- After going to the client's site, you will understand the existing work and be involved in the project. If you have any questions, it is better to organize them and ask them all at once.
- If you work at headquarters, you can leave work early, but if you are involved in a project, there is a high possibility of working overtime, so you should take advantage of your time to acquire technical and knowledge skills when you can enjoy it.

#3. What to do on the first day of joining an SI company
Basically, SI companies mainly perform projects for other companies or operate established sites, so there are not many people at the headquarters.
Therefore, when joining, you are divided into two cases: going directly to the client company where the project is being carried out or going to the headquarters and waiting.
If you go directly to the headquarters, in the case of a small SI company, there will usually be a CEO who does sales and an accountant, or a small number of people who work remotely from the headquarters or are waiting for the next project. During this time, there is nothing to do, so bring your personal laptop and study to pass the time. Don't feel awkward if you don't have work. Anyway, when you go on the project, you will work, so you can study while getting paid.
If you go directly to the client company, you usually prepare your laptop in advance. And after greeting the project team members and the client's contact person, on the first day, you usually set up your laptop. Install programs necessary for development, such as Eclipse, DB tools, Chrome, Filezilla, and apply for the IP address to be used by the client company. Then you will fill out security agreements, etc., and the day will be over quickly. After that, you will spend some time understanding the work that has been done so far and join the project. At this time, if you have any questions, you should ask your mentor or other team members, but usually other team members will be busy. If you have questions, don't ask immediately. Take notes and ask all at once when you have free time. That's what other team members would like, and the PM will like seeing you organize your work.
Usually, if there is nothing to do at headquarters, you will leave work on time. At this time, try to leave work on time without feeling awkward.
Once you are assigned to a project, as the deadline approaches, there is a high possibility that an endless hell of overtime will unfold. There is a saying that you should enjoy yourself while you can. Use your time wisely to acquire the skills and knowledge you need to survive in the SI world.
