How long did it take you to start feeling settled in your new role?

Always feel like I’m going to get fired (for not picking up fast enough) but need to remind myself that I’ve only been in this new role for 4 months

Lol seriously

Impostor Syndrome. Extremely common. Even though I’ve recently been promoted, I always feel like I did something sneaky to get it rather than because of my actual skills. My first project at my current role I sat in meetings knowing 0 things, feeling unable to contribute, feeling like every single person was 93 light years ahead of me. Took me maybe a year to feel like l might actually have something to contribute and showcase my skills. Give it time. Get honest feedback from people you trust. Do your best, adapt, then do your mostest betterest best and people will recognize.

Thank you!! I’ll indeed do my mostest betterest best ✨

After about a year? I switched industries so it was very hard to get used to. After a year, I still had some problems specially when new responsibilities were added.

Without knowing you, I’d say you’re probably doing better than you think if you’re concerned of your quality.

5-6 months to feel pretty settled. Probably a year before I’ll feel fully comfortable though. I tend to be slow to adjust…

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
