Within my first week I was found mining veldspar in a rookie system and invited into a mining corp based in Hoth...I quickly realised there was a niche for someone to haul and refine the ores for our group ops when the CEO wasn't there in his orca, so instead of training into an exhumer I went for Gallente industrials and started charging a small percentage to my corpmates for moving their ore back to a station in an iteron, refining it down into minerals and selling at the nearest hub for them - I eventually had a couple of understudies helping move the ores back to the station and contracting them over to me to refine as our mining ops grew and grew...
Around the end of month 1 my first corp failed as the CEO disappeared (pretty sure he just used us to mine ore for him to build a carrier or something...jerk) so I moved, along with some of the other members, into an industrial and mission running corp based around Rens - they were grinding standings to start running a POS so I trained up into a myrmidon and assisted on L4s (this was pre aggro changes so you could just fit for max gank and let a battleship warp in first and tank the spawns). They happened to also have a similarly oriented alliance a few jumps away in Cat who I ran missions with when nothing else was happening.
After a short while one of their members invited me WH diving into C1s and 2s -10mil nanoribbons made us stupidly rich very fast and the news spread through my new corp - within days I was training up all the mission runners in my new corp on how to use D-scan and probe launchers and bringing them in on WH dives - we were completely PvE oriented, mostly in disposable Drakes with me in a salvage Myrm doing some drone DPS whilst grabbing the loots. Through Dscan RSI we made a small fortune with very minimal losses (I still vividly remember watching one of my diving partners get taken out by a T2 gang whilst I scared off their tackle wolf with my drones and made it to a safespot with all the loot!).
Around this time my new CEO had a baby IRL and he offered up his position to anyone that seemed popular for the job and one of the guys I'd been diving with stood for and got the position, his first act was to make me a director and his second act was to decide we're moving into WHs - We made a deal with the friendly Cat alliance that anyone who wanted to stay in highsec would move to them, whilst we'd absorb anyone from their corp that wanted to explore Wspace. We collaboratively saved up for maybe a week to buy 'Milliways' our first POS and scanned and scanned and scanned to find our first home.
By the end of month 3 my horribly trained industrial/refining/myrmidon/scanning toon and a couple of crappy scanning alts had been made a director in a brand new WH corp and were completely over our heads sitting inside our POS shield in wspace. It was glorious.
but what would I know, I'm just a salvager
