Started a new role. For 9 years I was the go-to for every question for my team. It was exhausting and I was killing myself to please everyone, but I also kind of thrived on it. Now I’m the new kid on the block, know nothing, and feel like I’m adding very little value to my current firm pulling half the hours. I know eventually I will get up to speed and pull my weight. Feeling guilty for accepting a paycheck knowing I’m not adding value yet. Anyone else?

I’ve felt this way starting with a new team but within the same company. You’re right in that you’ll eventually get up to speed, and if you’re serious about feeling guilty then it sounds like you’re the type of person who’s going to actually make an effort to ask questions and learn and get up to speed, which I bet your team sees and appreciates. In the meantime, being the new person can have value in being a fresh set of eyes, if you do it right! Having an outsider challenge (in a helpful non-judgmental way) the status quo can often lead to finding more efficient ways of doing things, or add fresh perspective to old tired processes or deliverables.
