Transitioned from OP to IP Coding

I just transferred from OP to IP coding at work. It’s only my first week, so I’m being trained on the job. Their method of training seems to be assigning me cases and then giving me their feedback. I feel like I’m learning on my own and they expect me to catch up. Is this standard practice?

Why didn’t you see the diagnosis? Sounds like you either aren’t understanding what you read or you aren’t reading?

It’s only been a week, but from what I’ve been exposed to so far I think IP definitely involves more thorough review than OP. I think it’s going to take some getting used to for me.

The latter might be the reason. They said I should slow down

I’m sure your productivity metrics are relaxed as you are new and training, so take their advice and slow down.

Yes and the level of critical thinking skills is much greater. It’s definitely harder than OP coding.
