Got told today I was suppose to learn my role in 90 days ( 3 months) but was told I would be learning it in 3months - 1 year. Is this the norm for entry level?

Within 90 days you should be up to speed, understand the role and context, and shifting into adding value vs just doing the mechanics

Past 90 days is where you learn the wider scope, team flow and contributions, account/client context, and how to speed up or enrich your specific contributions so you can take on more responsibility that gets you promoted

Knowing what you’re doing/who your people are/what the projects are: 90 days. Being able to do your job without close oversight: one year.

They should have given you an onboarding and tasks/responsibilities plan and how that grows each month.

Make sure they have a plan to get you up to speed and then how to contribute and bring real value to the agency.

Entry level? Probably 7 days, if they're being generous.

I’m not understanding what you mean?

When I first joined the team, I got told it will take me a year to learn my role. I got told today actually it should been in 90 days.

You’re overthinking it.
