Yes, the first 3 months can be the roughest. Some jobs have training that lasts longer than that. How's your support system at work? Have you found a buddy? Is your manager available and supportive?

Me- about three months. My predecessor trained me incorrectly as she was doing her job incorrectly for YEARS!
Getting much better, but taking it one day at a time

Congratulations on the new job! Be patient with yourself and you continue to learn about the job, the people you work with, and the company culture.
Wishing you much success in your new role!

YES! That is totally normal, and good!! I help professionals specifically with imposter syndrome to advance quickly and position themselves for their next role. Here's my consult call link if you are looking for additional support! https://maeganmillercoaching.as.me/consultcall
