Can you get fired from underperforming on first engagement? Been on the project (very understaffed) for 3 months and although I don’t think I’m doing poorly, the thought just crossed my mind.

Firm and situation dependent I’m sure, but I think it’s unlikely, they may just find a new resource and staff you elsewhere. -signed, someone who definitely under performed on their first 2 month engagement

I shit the bed and rolled around in it on my first engagement. On my second engagement I performed well, I think sucking on the first one helped because my director was fawning over me in my review because of my improvement. Tldr don't worry, it might have even been a role mismatch

Potentially but very very unlikely.

Just ask to remove all doubt. It's up to you to solicit feedback - just set up time with your manager, figure out expectations, and schedule regular check ins.
