@SoldierOfCode haha I was gonna tag after your comment in one of the previous post.
I agree. For me, it's an uphill battle to learn so much at once as I have to prove to the management that hiring me was a right decision and start being functional on job.
All this while I immerse myself into a new environment with new people, processes, and product.
Being open to change and criticism has always helped me adjust to change.
I admit that I am anxious as it's 3 months of initial probation period but super excited because I am confident that I'll excel at this :) -
@Floydimus It's a weird feeling indeed.
If your probation is only 3 months, it's going to be over sooner than you realise, and you'll have a permanent position there 😁. -
@Berkmann18 yes, I am looking forward to it.

@Wisecrack my smooth brain was unable to process that double negative statement. Can you please simply it for me?
@Oktokolo haha thanks for your good words bro.
I did think about imposter syndrome (kind of fad in LinkedIn community) but then it hit me that one must know something in first place to even feel like an imposter.
In my case, self realisation hit me that I have been bullshitting myself, long enough, of possessing any kind of knowledge. And that made it clear that it's Dunning Kruger and not Imposter Syndrome.
There is so much to learn. It's still day 1 for me in life.
Dunning-Kruger effect is strong with me.
Thankfully, one of the most important skills that I learned is active listening. I am less vocal about my silly thoughts and shitty opinions these days.
I don't feel dumb. Instead, I realise that I AM dumb.
The people in my new org are exceptionally smart and talented. Each everyone is a hand picked gem. This isn't a coincidence. Rather it's evident that they hire folks very carefully.
In my previous org, I used to be the one driving everything. Like the smartest guy in the room.
But here, I am just quiet in every meeting and I enjoy working 12 hours a day. I am the dumbest guy in the room surrounded by people who are brilliant and humble.
I truly feel fortunate and grateful to be part of such an amazing org and wonderful team. One of the best decisions I made in my career and life.
