A new job is equal parts victory lap and first-day-of-school nerves. The best messages honor both: congratulate the win they earned, then steady the nerves they won't admit to.
Copy any message below, or send it as a card they unwrap the night before day one.

Send as a card →New job = fresh start on your reputation for 'having a quick question'. Use it wisely. Congrats!
Send as a card →Name what they did to earn it — the months of applications, the interview prep, the courage to leave. 'You earned this' with evidence beats plain congratulations.
If they're nervous, normalize it in one line ('everyone's faking it in week one') rather than pretending confidence is the only feeling in the room.
For departing coworkers, resist pure sadness: one line of 'we'll miss you', two lines of 'go be great'. It's their launch, not your loss.
Congratulate the achievement, acknowledge the nerves, and offer a send-off: 'You earned this, day one is just day one, and I'm cheering loudly from here.'
Both, in order: congratulations for getting it (skill), good luck for starting it (adventure). A message with both covers the whole moment.
Send it as a little card they unwrap the night before their first day — with a photo and a line to reread on the commute in.
Any message on this page can arrive as a gift they unwrap: your words, a photo, and a little reveal. Free, no app.
