first dev job is overwhelming

I'm burnt out from constant stress and lack of guidance, feeling spread out and anxious about work outside of work hours

What I wish I knew
"I should've asked more questions and looked for a better work environment"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't be afraid to speak up and look for a job that fits your needs and skills"
