New programmer work rate and expectations
<p>I'm a new graduate and yave just started working a few weeks past as a web programmer. I've kind of been thrown in at the deepend and have been put straight on a project that appears on the face of it to be relatively simple, but there a lot of little intricacies that are making it quite difficult. </p>

<p>What sort of work rate will employers be expecting a new graduate to work at? My employer hasn't said anything but I feel like I am taking much longer than they anticipated - perhaps even regretting that the have employed me in the first place. Also, I am asking for help with logic and some best ways to tackle some problems and I also feel they think I should know more than I should. Again what would an employer be expecting from the level of a recent graduate. </p>

<p>I want to be as good as I can and learn as much as possible but I constantly feel under pressure as I keep thinkin I should be getting through mug more work than I currently am. Is this a common feeling in new programmers and how would my employer approach it if I wasn't performing up to their expectations. Like I said, nothing had been mentioned but I do feel they are wondering why they bothered to hire me. </p>

<p>Some advice on this from experienced developers would be great. </p>
