Hi Kriya, Congratulations for your first job!
I will try to address your queries one by one as per my experience. When I joined my current job which is also my first job I had no visual challenges but got one after 4 years of work. JAWS vs NVDA: My mind tends to assume with this that you're fairly comfortable using JAWS over NVDA. This is something you can ask your HR and reporting manager about. In case they do not have an idea try to reach out to D&I (Diversity & Inclusion) for an answer. It is also worth noting that many of the enterprise softwares are now built keeping NVDA in mind and thus work better with NVDA over JAWS. If your day to day softwares work well with NVDA and you're comfortable using it, then it shouldn't be a major challenge. Regarding the inaccessibility for internal apps. This is a major pain point across all the organizations, I repeat, all the organizations. No matter how good their public facing services are the internal apps remain a pain point in some way or the other. You can again reach out to D&I with a list of major issues you face with most essential apps. Generally this particular team is eager to help but is unable to draw funds to budget projects as the leadership is not really convinced, projecting numbers and pin-pointed challenges and maybe a business case of some kind do help. You caan discuss your major challenges with your reporting manager and it should be his/her duty to provide reasonable accommodation to you in the meantime. In corporate people will be ready to help you, you should focus on your work and produce good results and the path should be smoother. Hope that helps a bit.
