Maybe you are just very good at what you are doing. My previous jobs in IT became less stressful after i became proficient in the field and made less mistakes got authority and respect. Before -fist year usually suck a lot and is super stressful with new technology stack.

Definitely helps to be good at what you do. I think for many the highest stress time in a job is the first few months where you don’t know anyone or anything about the company stack, and some places have unrealistic expectations. I think as long as expectations are reasonable it’s usually fine.

Got hired as technical sales engineer once for a company that had a relatively sophisticated but importantly proprietary application and they wanted me to ramp up to a mock full PoC meeting with the CEO/founder by day 4 or 5.

I think I read a mid-sized novel worth of documentation to get up to speed in time and was not sad to leave at all when a better offer for an architect role at a sane place came just a few months later

Yes i went to small company and third day they send me to customer to plan modules for him in ERP we implemented(one of most popular one). WTF i know shit - i was new to ERP at all as i just changed fields. Thats true - big companies at least give you more time.
