I am currently contemplating quitting my first job after just three weeks. I work as a video editor for social media content, and the workload has been overwhelming. They expect me to produce 80 videos a month for 9-10 different clients. In my first week, I was assigned a new client and tasked with creating their style while also learning new software. I've been putting in long hours, often working all day, including weekends, for the past two weeks. The stress is taking a toll on my health; I’ve been experiencing symptoms like shaking, headaches, nausea, and neck pain. My friends keep telling me that the beginning of a new job is always tough and that things will improve, but I'm not sure I can handle it any longer. I feel embarrassed and like a failure for even considering quitting, but I know my well-being is important. I'm looking for advice from anyone who has faced a similar situation.
