Next Friday is my LWD at TCS, and this is my first switch, Its making very nervous and at the same time I am scared what if I will not find the people in the new company...like I found in my current organisation....my mentor in TCS has helped me so much in initial weeks and guided me whenever required, I will be joining other organisation in next week, and have no idea in which project I will be working, and how will I survive there, is it normal to feel like this?

Congratulations. It is normal . Even in your 3 or 4 switch you will feel the same way. First org is always special and since u were corona batch you would have missed real office culture.

I felt the same while leaving TCS but believe me workwise almost same, you have to work a bit hard but your pocket will fill a hell of a lot more and there is no similar motivation like that.

Yes, it's normal to feel. It happens with everyone. Don't be scared. Enjoy the initial times.

Okay thanks

Yes, it is. Just a piece of advice, you might feel it's harsh. But never get too much attached in the IT sector and not everyone is your friend.

Also it need not be that the longest you worked with will be the closest. One friend i worked with for 3-6 months before i quit, but we make became close friends in that period itself whereas people with whom i had worked 4-5 years in same project before he joined, are just my facebook friends now. So, sometimes its all about getting synchronised with someone mentally.
