Am I overthinking or is this too much?
Sorry for the yap :') Need genuine advice on this!
I've been working in this company for almost 10 months now, this is my first company...got placed on campus(2025 passout)
The project was initially(for a week)good, lately it's becoming a little toxic, I mean the work culture not the actual work(I feel like). I work for 9 hours and there's these 2 'seniors' in the team and for some reason, just to correct me and taunt me the 2 'seniors' in the group are making me work for 12-13 hours and they are never satisfied with our work. I have to skip lunch etc. but they are free to do whatever they want :') And there's only 2 juniors like me in the team but no one does this with us, except for these 'seniors'.
Well I was told the project requires 24/7 365 work(site reliability engineering) and it's not just me even a senior with 4 years experience joined the team last week and she felt the same, she advised me to quit once I get my 1 year experience (which is after 2 months)
Firstly, is this normal or am I overthinking? And am I gonna regret quitting given the job market, is every company like this ?
First job always feels bad. But after a few years most find the first job better than what follows next. Every office will have a senior or manager like that. You are here to gain experience. Imagine this as prison sentence and find your way out.
Best thing about employment is its not our business we have nothing to stop us from moving.
Same. 10 months into market, 2025 batch pass-out. Facing the same thing (due to working on a client site)
Left my first job within 3 months of joining, it was legit hell. Took referral, got into the second organisation, far better.
But the things that are already written, won't ever let you run away. Now within this new org, I got deployed on a client site and they work like slaves for 12hrs+ straight (mostly due to poor time & priority management). Them being our 'client' isn't allowing me to live a normal human life.
I've accepted my fate, and was well aware of this hustling culture way before i even joined. Tbh, 3yrs is what I feel it takes to be settled somewhere at one's employment journey. Until then, everything is more like trial n error + learning things in exchange of time.
All the best!
It's normal. Either you try to get friendly with those seniors or else move on
Its almost same. Just learn and then leave job market is very volatile. And it's difficult to get job with 1 Yr of Exp exceptional niche skill
