Lessons Learned
Summer Projects

• Coming to Unity
• When working in teams, it is each of our
  obligation to voice our concerns about a decision
  at any time prior to agreeing on a final
  decision.
• Where to work
• Dont base career decisions on pay alone. Base
  them mostly on the opportunity for contribution
  and personal growth.
• Speak Up
• Ive learned that when two people always agree,
  one of them is unnecessary.
• You know more than you think
• Dont sell yourself short on what youve learned
  to date. Its amazing the shift in perception
  that gradually takes place over the first year.
  It will benefit you for years
