Not able to keep up in meetings

Start keeping up. Ask for help/ google/write down things they are talking about.. you cant be a liability for too long before they let you go at a startup

Till you figure out things completely I would say take notes. Buy a notebook and just keep writing down major points of each discussion in a simple enough manner so that you can understand later when you read. I don’t want you to take notes on your phone coz that will distract you. Maybe i’m old school but I feel writing them down will also drill them a little into your head. Go through the notes later in the day and definitely before the next follow up meeting.

Just start taking a better KT from your manager/ peers. No shame in not knowing something if you're new in the org.

Pretty normal .. typically means you're working with smart people so that's not a bad thing. Ramp up hard and you'll keep up pretty quickly

It's normal. You'll figure it out in a few weeks. Always takes about 2-4 months to figure out a new role or how a company functions.

I get what you mean and according to me it should be normal. They must’ve faced more problems than you to acquire so much knowledge of what they’re talking about. There’s no way can ramp up just by reading docs or code. You should be able to talk or know about things that you’ve worked on.

I don’t think it’s normal. If you are hired for a job you usually know enough to be able to take part in regular conversations

Probably not worth it to stay at a place where you’re so miserable

You’re probably fucked, but small chance they also have no idea what they are saying
