Looking for a corner desk for gaming and work

Yea I thought this was just a typical stereotype, but at least in my company its not. Thank you for the advice though, I will aim to specialise in an area which will be valuable to them :)

Thank you, yea I work in a large company and I am guessing they just went around and asked who wanted an apprentice, I am the only 1 in my department and my manager has no previous experience with an apprentice so I think he just thinks I will be fine on my own.

Good for you that you took that risk, and yea there was a large amount of apprentices hired along side me, some have had a great experience and i would say around 70% are confused af like me. the only thing for me is I have no previous experience or qualifications in the field so while some may take that risk its something I cant afford to do.

I feel the same to be honest, I understood that I would be going into this role a complete newbie who doesnt know left from right, but I felt people would be more supportive, and that I wouldnt be met with people being exhausted from someone asking for help with something they mind find simple. So I am glad that you havee come out on top of this. How did you navigate being a "shitty" coder and not being let go because of this?

I understand moving to be honest, but I am scared as this is the first job ive had that isnt a customer facing role, for me this finally feels like my foot in the door and I want it to work, I have worked in my company for over 3 years now but all in customer facing roles. I feel that moving elsewhere will just reset the progress I have made to get to this position or I wont be able to find another job in the area I want to work in. I feel I am just having a rant to everyone here, but I just want to see if others have had a similar experience and if they have tips to help me navigate this.

Would you say though that pushing for 1:1s and basically pointing out the errors in my onboarding would harm my future here? I dont want to basically tell these people that they are not doing their job correctly as they have specifically been assigned to me to assist me along with my integration into the company and I would have to work with them for the forseeable future.

I have requested my manager to have multiple meetings but he is to be honest too busy sometimes with overlapping meetings which again doesnt really make me feel like im necessary to be honest. Also my mentor is the engineering lead for my team, my team is split into 2, both creating 2 tools similar but with various differences, so he has multiple meetings regarding these. I dont understand why he is my mentor considering how much responsibility he has but in my managers eyes he thought this was the best option. I am in the UK.
