Can an EH bounce back from a rough start on a project if they've been at the firm less than 2 months and haven't been to DU for any kind of training? Any tips?

Yes. In many cases, your first year is a pass in terms of development. Be able to show improvement. You need to network hard and get a good set of mentors to work with. Don't have fear in a solid person below you helping you out. There are some solid people that are ready for a promotion that need to learn to coach. And ask for feedback and recommendations to fix, too.

EH here, my first project was definitely a learning experience. Honestly, the W2D DU training won't prepare you. Take any feedback with stride. I was lucky that I got on a small team with a lot of responsibility and had to step up fast. Don't stress you'll get there. If you want to get promoted early since we come in a level below step it up quick and get a good counselor

I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am

I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
