Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the ride (and get your green card).<p>I would work on automating what you can to save yourself time. Be on the look out for easy things that can save other time and present proposals to implement X and save Y time.<p>I&#x27;m been in companies though where for whatever reason no one wants to change&#x2F;improve anything. Some fear automating things saving time will cost them their job or they might not understand&#x2F;not want to learn new things. So they are never going to be open to change.<p>Be on guard for things going wrong and being blamed for trying new things. Learn that they are doing inside and out, then look at ways your team can do it better.<p>If you just settle in and keep doing what you&#x27;re doing take some time to learn new techniques and technologies that can help you later. Maybe start a blog, writing to build an audience to make you an &#x27;expert&#x27; and open up possible product offerings in the future. (If that interests you).<p>Good luck, some companies are never going to do things the &#x27;right&#x27; way. Good luck passing along some best practices.
