I just started a new job. The team is awesome and I really enjoy it. But I can't help to feel somewhat useless as I still don't know the environment very well and have to ask so many questions.

Dude, you're doing well.

I work in a highly technical field that requires a very broad knowledge base. The first 8 mo of my new job, I felt like a clueless bumpkin.

I've been at it for 1.5 yrs now, and I feel less like that but it's still a lot of learning.

Imposter syndrome gets us all at times. But hey, at least you're asking, you'll then know more and you'll improve! They need to be patient with a new hire too, which it sounds like they are. Good luck!
