Description
Per [this](https://cockroachlabs.slack.com/archives/C067NG669KJ/p1701461044771449) discussion, it can take 5-10 minutes for an `ALTER TABLE` to show up in the jobs table. This is confusing to the user. It would be helpful if we could give the user a faster indication that something was happening, even if it was just to show that the job was initializing.
