Feeling dumb after switching
It's been a few days since I switched. Was in my earlier company for just over 3 years. I'm feeling extremely stupid at work these initial days. I take time to get things completed, not productive. I used to know literally almost everything in my previous company. This is my first switch. This is killing my confidence day by day. Feels like I'm living weekend to weekend.

Well, look at it this way: feeling stupid is the first step to being sort of smart again. Keep on pushing through, weekend warrior!
Very common scenario. Initial onboarding is tough. Talk to manager, team members. Try to get bigger picture clear first before getting into detail. If you keep putting in effort it will ease up faster than you expect.
If it's something challenging and new that you are learning then you are on the right path.
Most of us learn on the job and we all make mistakes. This is the path. Keep going
You answered your question yourself - it’s your first switch. It’s very normal, you will get used to it further down in your career, so don’t worry and keep learning!
