Hi. I just started adventuring as a strong healty dwarf in a very young world (40.24)

And....  apparently I am stuck in the quarters. Am I just blind or is this a common error/bug?

Tell me the truth, am I doomed to starve here?

You aren't blind, you're underground in fortress. Pregenerated fortresses in this version are extremely hard to navigate. There is a chance that if you retire and then unretire that you might spawn above ground. This is a major reason I never spawn at a pregenerated dwarf fortress. If you can find stairs, use them. However (oddly enough), I didn't see any in your screen shot.

It's an unfortunately common bug where the stairs inside of pregened fortresses don't always generate. Did you try fast traveling out of the fortress?

[Max™]

Yeah, that happens since the area under the big surface fort section is scrambled when it loads and the connections with areas that extend horizontally beyond the edges of the surface fort sized column aren't always left intact.

Example similar to what you posted:
