I've been on my current project for three months now, and it's starting to look like it's going to be a really long one (literally and figuratively) although I have to admit that I'm happy to be getting to do a lot of new things and take the lead on a number of items, and of course I'm gaining more experience dealing with clients!
A friend of mine started with the company on Monday, and she's already right in the thick of things. I think she's feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the information that has been thrown at her, as well as the pace of work. I told her that's completely normal and that I felt exactly the same way when I started, heck I still have days where I wonder what the heck I've gotten myself into! I told her it gets easier, especially once you get to know all of the people we work with, I know it's cheesy but the people really do make the difference!
