Normal.

First few weeks/months should be listening a LOT. You need to learn the culture and the personalities.

You will have lots of opportunity to add value. For now just get yourself well situated, understand your resources, and build relationships

while i’m hoping you don’t suck, and probably just have newbie jitters, we need to realize that some
people DO suck, even if they don’t want to.

not all people that honestly want to be good, and are aware that they are not good, can be good.

but you, two weeks in, you’re probably just getting into the groove. keep working, and you’ll likely be fine!

Normal. You want to prove you can meet expectations. Is your supervisor a help? How are your coworkers?

That’s normal. You’ll feel better in a couple weeks, or when you get some positive feedback

If you actually sucked, you wouldn't care enough to feel that way and want to get better.

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward. The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed. Although in that time she has started communicating less and I literally had to beg her to get on face time. My gut says she wants to end it but unsure. Any advice ? It's been 2 weeks since this event

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me?

It doesn’t matter how much it wasn’t about me, how he chose to end it, and that’s what crushed me. Who I thought I knew was wrong. I want to know how close he was to loving me.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?
