 Thirty four years ago this month, I was drove across country from California to New Hampshire to start my Asst Professor gig. Unfortunately, it only lasted for four years.
Since then, however, I've learned a lot of things that would have made that first appointment last a lot longer. It is unbelievable how much you learn your first year as a professor, and it is also how many mistakes you make. I put together an infographic of some of the insights I've learned from people over the years. Hopefully they'll help you leapfrog some mistakes and start like a star. Let me know advice you have gotten from others or discovered yourself that was useful to you.
