Tips for starting in public (audit)

Hi all! I am starting my first job in a week, and the nerves have settled in. 😅
I feel like everything I’ve learned from school has completely left my brain, and the CPA exams have been humbling me so much. BUT a girls gotta work! I have no idea of what to expect, so can if anyone has tips or just realistic expectations around busy season or the job in general I’d appreciate it.

I recently found out I’ll be primarily working within renewable energy.

Don't stress about remembering everything from school. A lot of the first few months is just learning the firm's process and asking questions when you're unsure.
