My personal tips are: take time for yourself and don’t overwhelm yourself too much. Write down beforehand how the best EAG would look like to you and how a great EAG would look like. Take notes on what you want to accomplish and what to speak about in your 1o1s. Make 1o1s and have a good, productive time. After the EAG reevaluate what happened, what you have learned and write down next steps.
It’ll be my first time at a Bay Area EA Global at the end of this month—does anyone have any tips? Any things I should definitely do?
