D E Shaw Macro HF career advice

Hello
I’m joining DE Shaw’s Macro Research team soon. I’m a bit nervous because I dont know how it will actually turn out to be. I would be grateful for any advice this forum has to offer.
Any do’s and don’ts?
Any suggestion as to what to focus on at the beginning?
Any general advice about career planning?
Open to any and all inputs here.
Thank You.
