As in most things of this sort in life: Listen way more than you talk. Find out who the important people in the group are, and introduce yourself to them. Pay attention to what they have to say. Find out how things are done in your new area, and how you can get in on it. Cream rises, but it takes some time. So find opportunities to show what you can do ASAP. Don't say anything negative about anybody or anything. And don't say a word about how things were done where you came from -- nobody in your new area cares. Good luck.
