Finally landed a role after loads of study past 2 years. Desperately need the money.
I'm nervous. Can anyone give me a pep talk? I alwyas hate the start of a role and feeling so watched. I'm simultaneously waiting to be fired and told “you're not a good fit” and also hoping I'm doing enough to ensure thst doesn't happen, without burning myself out at the start.
I don't wanna set a high standard I need to keep pace, but also don't wanna underperform. Any tips?
Also my fear of being fired is because once, 7 years ago, i took a role in a startup. It was rich kids with loads of cash and they didn't really wanna work. I think think I cramped their style cause I asked business questions and didn't wanna party or drink with them in nights. Anyway I was eventually told I wasn't a good fit. It felt so awful. And left me in the lyrch fina cially for months. I guess I'm always cautious now.
