It sounds like this is an organizational issue. Make sure you get clear instructions on who to ask about what. Don’t accept being assigned work you can’t complete unless you also have access to someone else who could do it. Doing something alone by “researching” in isolation is of course possible, but extremely inefficient. Suggest a 10x estimate on the work if you have to do something without qualified guidance. That will drive home the point to your manager that being left alone is a massive waste of resource. If they think you are being a pain for suggesting something will take two weeks that should take a day - then explain that you don’t have any experience with that work and expect to be stuck without guidance for long periods of time. Never be afraid to ask. Most importantly be transparent in what you are doing and what you intend to do. If you feel left stranded without enough guidance then make sure you let the relevant people know. If you are stuck on something, say so immediately. If a mistake can be made or is made, then make sure you don’t see it as a personal failure but as a process failure. Suggest that the process should be changed to safeguard against the same mistake. It’s something you as a newcomer can provide a unique perspective on. If you are given unspecified suggestions you should “improve” or “do better” or “make fewer mistakes” then leave, quickly. As a jr dev you need a good environment. If the company can’t provide that, you should find an employer that can.
