Am I doomed?
Hi everyone I graduated about 2 months back and have joined a startup(it's really big, can't call it a startup now)
Most of the people around me have an avg work ex of 5-6 years prior to joining and I am the only fresher in this division.
I am too afraid to make mistakes since I feel doing so would take opportunities away from me, given that you've more experienced people on the team as well.
To make the situation worse, I got scolded(not really, but the situation was too tense) by my manager a few days back.
I want to work and capitalise on more opportunities however I invariably make slight mistakes which I am afraid will cost me my growth here.
Any suggestions or views on this?

Seek a little more guidance from a peer or senior. This is a learning phase. Don’t create doom and gloom scenarios in your mind, albeit it is understandable when starting out. Keep learning!
When I first started out, I screwed up something because my manager didn’t help me out and I was too hung up on not asking for help if it wasn’t offered. It was just the start of my career. It definitely stung and I get bad but I’m retrospect, I had no guidance and was a total blank slate from an experience point of view. As others mentioned, you’ve got a long way to go. “Its not a sprint, it’s a marathon” is something that helped me look at the bigger picture
Do not make the mistake of going into a shell if you are tensed. Ask for help ..
After few years in the interviews you will be asked what mistakes you made , what risks you took, what did you learn
This is an opportunity for you 😀
If the decision is reversible just go ahead if you think it right thing to do
If it is not make you sure you have identified the risk and mitigated it
Unless you make a mistake so drastic that it affects the company’s revenue/profits in a huge way, your growth isn’t doomed. Everyone makes mistakes, even your managers. The best you can do is learn from your mistakes, and take advice from your manager on how you can do better. And proactively ask for feedback from your manager on your work.
