Hi folks,

Due to this community I recently landed a SDE role at Walmart. Thank so much for all the support.

I performed really well in the interview rounds.The coding rounds were quite easy and I used different approaches to solve the questions. The interviewers were quite impressed and I got the offer.

I joined the team and the lead is constantly appraising me even if I'm doing nothing. The tech stack is new to me and expecting a learning curve but still the lead as assign me task to work on the very next day. She keeps on saying it's easy for you and you can finish it early bla bla which I think is not true. I am little scared in terms of her expectations from me.

What to do? Is it normal ?

    I would say she is being a bit manipulative to get more done from you. You will need to manage expectations. It’s going to be a bit tricky but you have to keep your calm be tactful.

    She believes in you and is trying to push you to do better. You need to do the same with yourself. Don’t be shy to ask for help when you’ve exhausted your options. Also it’s rare to find mentors or colleagues who are as encouraging as yours, get the most out of it.

    So I think you are "starry eyed" rn. Don't waste any time at all and work really really hard. Your tenure/references here may dictate your career trajectory. Work really hard.
