Keep up with what you need to produce from day to day. When you see an opening you want, then you can push harder to advance further.
Making the transition from school to work can be difficult, and from what I've seem the perfectionists have a hard time because getting the answer right isn't necessarily what it's all about in the office.
Find a mentor if you can. Worth their weight in gold. Best wishes for an exciting life!

Yes, I'd say I'm a perfectionist and thank you for the advice. I know it won't matter in the work force, but right now I'm not going there. I'm awaiting replies from grad schools, it matters there. :/
