It’s completely normal to feel a bit chaotic when stepping into your second ID role, especially in big tech. The pace is fast, the systems are complex, and there’s a lot to absorb in the beginning. But with time, the processes start to make sense, the workflow becomes clearer, and the chaos turns into momentum. You’re not alone—most IDs go through this phase, and it gets easier as you settle in.
As title says this my 2nd ID role. Lucky to have it and work hard to do the best I can. The problem is that often the process is : “here are some source videos, microsoft word docs and pdf’s. Figure out how to create a series of trainings around this”. This is not what I learned in my training. I triumphed at first but the whole process seems haphazard and without enough guidance, but maybe this is the real world. I’m not the expert. Data center technology. Limited access to SME’s. I’m afraid of asking for questions as I don’t want to lose the job, but this just seems grossly unstructured. The last gig I had, we met with SME’s, got a work in progress script and digital assets. Just trying to wrap my head around what I can and can not do in the time that I have left for this job. Sorry if this reeks of being too green. Just trying to be better at my job and help us not waste time.
