SOFTWARE NEW GRAD advice :
Hi guys so I joined a company about a month ago . They’re in a different state . Like a random state I do not want to live in( the lay is decent though ) . Since I was a new grad in this market , I said yes after looking at their relocation policy which said we have up to 1 year to relocate. Even my recruiter at the same time told me directly that I have up to a year to relocate, told me I can maybe visit now and then if the team needs , and that it’s okay for me to take up to 1 year to move . My plan was to work here for almost a year and quit before I have to actually move , hoping that I would find something better .
My manager however seems keen to want me to come in person ASAP . Even when I did go in person , for a week , I received no help . No knowledge transfer secession. It’s a niche technology . Not something I can look up either . I felt like he’s doing this cause he wants me there. My recruiter unfortunately switched companies and I can’t reach him either .
What do you all suggest I do ? I can’t perform my best because I don’t receive any help / context of the codebase or tools . I’m essentially left on my own . Not 1 damn day did the manager or anyone have a knowledge transfer secession . I have had to ask and figure it out myself . Which is what takes the most time . The code itself is not hard actually. This causes me to take way too long . I keep missing deadlines .
New grads from other teams which are in person received a lot of help infact it was them who set me up and helped me finish my first ticket .
