The code block below execute before my async await finishes

const getGroup = async (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params
  try {
    const group = await Group.findOne({ _id: id });    
    const groupNotesPromise = await group.group_notes.map( async (fileId) => {
      const file = await File.findById(fileId)
      return file;
    })
    const groupNotes = await groupNotesPromise.map( async (notePromise) => {
      await notePromise.then(res => console.log(res))
    })
    console.log(groupNotes)
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(err.message);
    res.status(400).json({ err: err.message });
  }
}

Hello guys, I have a function above, this is retrieving data from MongoDB.

However, I would like to know why would my console.log(groupNotes) be printed before the execution of the groupNotesPromise.map above, as it has an await in the function.

Below is the console.log(groupNotes) and console.log(res) from the code above

[ Promise { <pending> }, Promise { <pending> } ]
{
  _id: new ObjectId("6496c645bf2bb491b931f082"),
  fileName: 'test',
  fileAwsReference: 'b4b71d06828d23d857b3611c2ce2480cf704f1fc1b9cb1879b563159631d162a',
  createdBy: new ObjectId("648bab3c8044efccc461ad1d"),
  createdIn: new ObjectId("648d7776284835591f536552"),
  __v: 0
},
{
