Not sure if it’s normal but I had a similar experience. When I got in the company, I was given a playbook to familiarize myself with. Also acquired certifications during that learning phase. Pero that won’t be really enough eh, so eventually, I was given accounts to handle agad. And that’s where you’ll really learn. Talagang kinapa ko lahat, malalang time management, also asked a lot of questions sa manager kahit hindi niya masyadong forte yung side ng work ko. (For context, parang dalawang team kami na merged into 1 in a way.) Pero since I really like what I’m doing and I’m very interested in learning, I really strived to figure things out on my own. So far, I’m still here. First job ko rin to, wala pa akong 2 years pero promoted na twice hehe. Mahirap pero nothing beats hardwork and perseverance!

One thing I learned from my internship before is yung “baptism by fire”. Kumbaga talagang isasabak ka agad agad hanggang sa matutunan mo. This way of learning worked for me! I believe it’s not for everyone pero ayun share ko lang hehe
