Hi
I started a new job a month ago. Its a similar job to my previous one and in the same sector etc, I really was top of my game in my previous job and knew a lot and people would come to me with questions and how to solve things all the time.
Things have been going well in my new job, but I'm finding it hard to get to grips with some things. I know I'm qualified for the role and am capable of doing it, but I wish I was further along and knew what to do more than I do.
I work in reporting and the databases and sources are different. I feel like I've to be shown what to do with certain things and what programmes/ formulas etc to use, because they do things a different way and even though I have used these systems (SQL and Excel) for many years. I've got good feedback from my manager so far and in general I'm quite tough on myself, but I really feel my skills are not been shown and to be honest I'm worried.
What I'm wondering is is this normal? Am I panicking and do I need time to settle? What is the average time to settle into a new job?
