I've made a huge mistake changing jobs!

Hazel

Hi all

I realised quite early on that I've made a huge mistake moving to my current company!  I fancied taking a leap from my previous role, I'd been there for 4 years and felt I needed to get some experience in another industry.

Whilst I don't regret leaving my old company, I do feel that I've taken my career into another direction entirely, in fact, I would say I've taken a big step back.

Now - what to do?  Do I just persevere?  Or do I leave now before the end of my probation, when my notice period jumps up to 3 months!

I wondered whether any of you have experienced this and what you did?

Thanks

    I totally empathise, its a very difficult situation to be in. I too realised a couple of months in to a new role that it had been missold and not at all right for me despite the lovely people and amazing benefits!. I took the plunge, left, registered with an agency and took a temporary role (and a pay cut) as a stop gap. I am now fortunate to be working in a permanent role I enjoy. At interview, be honest, if a prospective employer does not understand your decision and the career path you want to be on then they are not right for you!

    Best of luck
