Is it normal to feel so stressed and intimidated only a few months into the job? Nothing seems to be clicking, management is super critical, and I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake in taking this role on...

Very normal. When I first got into tech consulting as an analyst I felt like I knew nothing technical and the project manager was on me for ever small soft skill I lacked (taking initiative, effectively communicating, etc). Took me a year to really start getting more comfortable and hit my stride. Key is to always take initiative and always try to lessen the plate of whoever is higher or peer to you so that they know you’re doing your hardest to try

The stressful part is normal, however management being critical rather than supporting could be an issue. What is it that is making you stressed and what is it that management is being critical about? Also when you say management are you referring to your direct manager or the project management for on your current project?

Feel the same way and it’s been over a year. Seriously feel like switching jobs. Completely unsure on what though. Learning just feels like drowning - overwhelming, everyone is so busy they can’t support, trying to learn when a project is on fire and deadlines are tight. and then getting asked “what reinvest have you been doing?” “What business development have you been doing?” “How’s your certification going?” I definitely feel bad at my job but haven’t gotten any super negative feedback but it’s just not enjoyable.
