Congrats on the new job! I just started a new job that is currently remote and was previously on a 3 month fully remote contract. What's worked for me is 1) taking the time to "meet" all my coworkers by setting up 30 min 1:1 to chat, talking about the company sure, but also about who they are. Something to mimic office chatter! 2) once you know what message software they use (slack, etc.) seek out the channels and start being active on there, that also helped me mimic an in-office experience, and 3) as with any new job, don't be afraid to ask questions!! From my experience, many consistent video chats actually enables you to get to know people pretty well over time, you just won't know how tall they are LOL And re: LinkedIn, I think what you said right there is spot on! You can absolutely thank your previous managers and also say how excited you are for this next step in your career/to further your career/to take on a new challenge/whatever the case may be and how thankful you are for your previous managers preparing you for this role. Best of luck and congrats again!
