2 weeks into my job as a new grad and feeling truly overwhelmed. Software development position.

I'm not having this issue yet but I've only just started searching for my first job in software (before now I've only done min-wage factory jobs), and I know for a fact that this is how I'll feel as soon as I land that job, despite the fact that college up to this point has been little more than an exercise in remembering things I already taught myself and then ticking the boxes.

I think it's one thing to be good at something, but doing that same thing at someone else's pace is something I've always struggled with. So my most effective solution so far has been to switch off and only work at my own pace, and maintain a "feeling cute, might beat the deadline today" attitude - that's helped me through all those timed exams, anyway.

I'm going to attempt to apply that in the workplace, my concern is whether or not I will actually beat the deadline, and whether my carefree attitude and constant emotionless stare will look to the company as if I genuinely don't care about the work.
