Hi Everyone,
So a little background about me: I have been working in the analytics industry for the past 11 months, and this is my first job. Prior to this, I was enrolled in an undergrad program.
Lately, I have been feeling a little lost in terms of what I am doing, what I should do, and what could be the right path. All my life, I was a topper who just studied and got that recognition every time I scored well on an exam. But now, in the corporate world, some days are difficult. I want to have a good career and work, but how, what, and where I don't know. Today, after almost 1-2 months, I am having the same feeling that I am lost because I was exposed to a new problem and I had some time to understand what the objective was. My manager appreciated my work. I was feeling fine for a short time, but now it's the same again. I don't know what growth means to me, but I want to expand my work and grow professionally.
Can anyone tell me if that is normal in the early stages of your career or if I am the only one? Also, any idea when this feeling diminishes?
