1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.

3. Assume the best intention of others.

While the quality of work is good, the work environment has not been particularly supportive. My seniors are not toxic per se, but I am often left to fend for myself, with limited guidance on deliverables.
I want to move to a firm where I can rely on my seniors for guidance and mentorship. Pay is not a concern for me at this stage—learning is.
In this context, I would appreciate guidance on whether it would be advisable to start reaching out to recruiters to explore available options, or whether it would be better to wait and reassess after some more time.
I am from a TLC and reaching out to friends for opportunities is out of option.
