My manager: Hey don't be afraid to ask the team for help if you feel blocked on a task.

Also my manager when I ask for help: I think you need to understand the task better before you ask for help.

WTF! Make up your mind. Do you want me to make progress or not? Freaking sucks being the new guy. 😑

    @AtuM Yep. First "real" dev position.

    Hasn't been the smoothest transition. My velocity is being compared to guys who have been on the team for 3+ years. So far just been a recipe for hardcore imposter syndrome.

    My rule for juniors is try and solve it by yourself for 45+ minutes. If still stuck I ask for help from colleagues.
