Starting a new trader job, tips?

First gig out of university, based in Dubai. Crypto fund where I’ll be working directly under the portfolio manager and day/swing trading cryptocurrency derivatives. Any tips for a new person in the industry? I’m excited for it but worried about managing other people’s money.
