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

  • Hi Hazel

    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

    Hi Carrie
    Yes, that's my plan. Do some temping and take my time over the new perm role, even on less pay! As long as something is coming in to keep things ticking over.
