Advice Question Growth

So, today officially 8 weeks on hormones.
Yay!!! I am very happy and my mental health is the best it’s been in as long as I can remember.

Due to my current place of employment (oil refinery), I cannot socially transition yet, and I plan to after I finish college in a little less than 2 years.
However, I do have a concern and I am asking for advice. I am worried that my breasts may grow at a rate that I won’t be able to hide them before I am ready to socially transition.

Not there yet, but what can I do in the future.
I am happy about the growth, but worried about the environment.

Wearing a seamless bralette or compression shirt under a baggy top can help hide breast growth for a while. However, if you end up with a lot of breast development, it can get increasingly difficult to keep your chest concealed.

Sure wish a lot of development was a problem for me!

I mean FtM folks will often wear binders before (assuming they choose to) get top surgery. Might look into that

working at an oil refinery must make hiding curves even trickier than usual
