I had been in my previous role for 10 years. I knew it so well and was seen as the most senior person who most people went to if there was an issue. However, there was just no further career progression and I often felt I can't be doing this same job in another 10 years. I am quite a shy person but as I have been in the job for so long and knew everyone well I probably came across confident.
Then the opportunity to move department came up. I had often thought its an area I would love to get into and to my surprise I got the job. I'm now 3 weeks in and I'm regretting my decision. I know it sounds ridiculous as I'm only 3 weeks in so I'm hoping others will tell me this is a normal feeling and will pass. I just feel completely incompetent and I'm struggling as I'm literally learning everything from scratch. I literally felt ill today someone was trying to explain something to me and I just couldn't concentrate. I think it's harder as we are all working from home.
Anyway I suppose my question is have others found starting a new job overwhelming and if so how long did it last? Did it improve over time? TIA
