Weird, for me it’s the opposite—the most stressful time is when I don’t know how things work. Battling lacking or missing onboarding processes instead of working on challenges I thought I was hired to solve can be demotivating.
- blazespin 12y agoYes, the first 6 months are by far the most stressful. You are far more replaceable in the first 6 months than you are after a few years. You will earn more money though. Switching jobs is the fastest way to get a pay raise.
