If you are working at a new job, ask questions, ask lots of questions. The more you put your ego aside, and focus on absorbing everything like a sponge, you will leap ahead of your peers and your early career will set you up for long term success. Often times, imposter syndrome will keep people from asking questions out of fear of being judged as incompetent. Let me tell you, the people who immediately ask about what they don't know are the ones you want around, the ones who pretend to know, or struggle through issues, or end up with odd solutions that need to be reworked take up more time and cost teams more money. The more you seek to understand form other more seasoned engineers, your peers, etc will only benefit you and will also have the added effect of building relationships and respect from others that will also set you up for a better long term career.
