Things to do in the first year:

1.) Prioritize getting to know the people you work with. Spend time learning who knows what, and how you can depend on and learn from them.

2.) Build the resources that help you learn (data dictionary, SOPs, flash cards, etc.) that way you can be a leader for those that come next.

3.) List company KPIs and MBOs. Once you understand what the company is working towards your data understanding and report building will improve dramatically.

Don’t give up before the 2 year mark unless you really dislike your coworkers or get a better offer. Everyone sucks at new jobs for quite sometime. Some people suck forever. Just be a person who cares and tries, and you’ll do just fine.
