Look back after job change I want to look back at the past few months. I changed my job a few months ago. This was the first experience in my career and a big challenge for me. When I tried to change my job, someone said I was stupid, someone criticized me as self-serving, and of course, I realized my decision would disappoint many people. However, nobody knows whether a challenging success or not. I wouldn't like to regret that I didn't do the challenge. Finally, I decided to believe my heart. At the first time after the change, I had a difficulty to adapt myself to a new workplace since the original work style and the former work style were different and focused on adapting myself to the new place. After these months, I believe I got over the first step. At the same time, I understand my strength and weakness. I keep improving my performance with self-development as a next stage. Also, I recognize the diversity of my company and society. What feels comfortable I may make others uncomfortable. I would like to respect everyone’s style.

Looking back after a job change

I want to look back at the past few months.
I changed my job a few months ago. This was the first experience in my career (ambiguous, may be better to write "This was the first experience changing jobs during my career" or "This last job was the first working experience of my career" depending on which one you mean) and a big challenge for me.
When I tried to change my jobs, someone said I was stupid, someone criticized me as self-serving, and, of course, I realized my decision would disappoint many people.
However, nobody knows whether such a challenging will be a success or not. I wouldn't like want to regret that I didn't do the challenge. Finally, I decided to believe follow my heart.
At the first time just after the change, I had a difficulty to adapting myself to a new workplace since the original work style and the former work style were different and so I focused on adapting myself to the new place. After these first few months, I believe I got over the first step. At the same time, I understand my strengths and weaknesses. I want to keep improving my performance with self-development as a next stage "as a next step" or "in the next stage". Also, I recognize the diversity of my company and society. What feels comfortable to me I may make others uncomfortable. I would like to respect everyone’s style.

Blue highlighting means the original sentence was ok but the additions/changes make it more natural or fit what I think you meant to say. Yellow means it needed to be changed for grammar or understanding. Below are some additional notes:

"When I tried to change my job" was a correct sentence, but "When I tried to change jobs" sounds a lot more natural and colloquial.

"And" is replaced by "so I" in the sentence about adapting your self because "so I" contrasts the problem in part 1 (difficulty adapting) with the solution in part 2 (focusing on adapting). You can also make them separate sentences and say "Therefore, I....." instead of "so I"

However, nobody knows whether a challenging success challenge will succeed or not. I wouldn't like to regret that I didn't do accept the challenge. Finally, I decided to believe my heart.
At the first time At first after the change, I had a difficulty to adapt adapting myself to a new workplace since the original work style and the former work style were different and focused on adapting myself to the new place. After these months, I believe I got over the first step. At the same time, I understand my strength and weakness strengths and weaknesses.

"original work style and the former work style" = original and former both seem to refer to your old job. Maybe you could write, "the previous/former work style and the current one ..."
