I am rather new in the workplace and had been finding ways to better communicate with my colleagues. What were some of the things you did in the initial starting years of work that was helpful?

I am an introvert by nature, however, I realized that getting to know people or the right people can help make my work a lot easier. I had been given advice such as finding common ground and also chatting up with people in the pantry. I had been doing that, however, the rate at which I am progressing is slow. In today's fast-paced culture, I feel like I need to be faster.

Smile & be approachable! Sometimes a simple hello will help to ease the tension, and others will reciprocate. Or recognise other people's efforts during small chats, this helps to bridge the awkward gap when you are asking them for help later on (:

Be genuine.

That should underpin all that you do. If you come across as having an agenda while chatting up people in the pantry, eventually it will show.

Otherwise:

Just be yourself and be nice. You should have teammates or people who are seated physically near you...

26 years old just started working with less than $1.5K take home pay right after national service. How much should he be saving already? Is 20K good enough? And should he find a better job or stick for another year for a better portfolio?

I'm 22 this year just started working with $2.5-2.8k salary. Thing is, I have ~$39k savings. With a relatively low starting salary but quite a lot of savings, how should i plan my future finances?

Happy New Year! Feeling a little anxious starting my career, how do i stop feeling nervous. Please also share how long on average do people get the hang of things in their new job?

I want to save about $370,000 in 10 years' time and stop work. I can start putting aside about $2400 towards savings and investments. But what's the best way to do this?
