Recent joiner but have a gut feeling I’ve joined the wrong area, now that I’ve had time to appreciate the scale, structure and different areas of the firm.

What would you do in my situation? Would love to hear some candid perspectives. Appreciate this may be super sensitive given probation period and not pissing off the MD chain. (I’m an SM if helpful).

I would start to make connections in the area that you think you are better suited for. Find out who is the practice lead, introduce yourself, start networking so you can start to get involved in work that is in the area. When people there know you and your work they can say “oh, OP totally makes sense to be in this group. “. If everyone agrees, then you can be transferred. Otherwise, without having those connections, you would have to apply for an open role.

Get through your probation first, you would have been hired to fill a hole. After the effort bringing you in, the last thing they need is to have to find a replacement

Just out of curiosity, which vertical do you belong to? SAP BSG / S&C or others?

This should be easy peasy as it is within S&C, Just discuss with your people lead and they should be able to sort this out for you

7/12 Received the new passport

End to end, a little more than 5 weeks. "Routine service can take 8-11 weeks" is the standard disclaimer. It's all good people!
