"hey, train this guy"

Me, who's been managing this dept with zero experience for the last ten years by the skin of my teeth.

"Read this book and get to work."

My experience is more like, "It's all relatively self-explanatory. You'll catch up. Also, we forgot to ask, how's your Mandarin?"

And of course learning by doing.

Yeah I'm feeling this pretty hard.

Started a new position last Monday. I'm very happy with the role actually, but it seems so hard to find actual training. I really shouldn't complain, I'm not assigned much work currently or in the near future.

Just would be nice to have a better idea of the day-to-day, however.

Sounds to me like you have ten years of experience!
