Hello,

I had the same feeling when I started new job 2 years ago. I was overwhelmed by not knowing the product and the technologie used.
I guess it s normal to have those thoughts but don't let be an obstacles for your know job.
Tips that I have tried and worked for me are :

  • Ask a lot of questions at the beginning and have a notebook (or use an online tool google doc; oneNote or other) to write down all things that has been said to u, we tend to forget quickly at beginning because we have a lot of new things that we learn.
  • Give propositions as much as u can, it s good to have a new eye on the product/service
  • Take some responsabilities by your self, don't wait until they ask u to do, so when ever you have a free time at work, take a subject and work on it.

Good Luck and don't forget that they have chosen u because you are competent otherwise they would chose an other person.
