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'm sorry to hear it hasn't turned out the way you want Hazel.
    I walked out of a job after 2 weeks because it was just awful. I knew I would never be happy there, it just wasn't worth the stress.

    If it makes you feel more confident about you decision, remember that the probation period is there for you to decide the role is right for you. It isn't just the company that needs to make the decision on if it is working well!
    I personally wouldn't see someone badly if they told me they left a role quickly due to it not being what was offered. Especially if their previous track record was 'normal'.

    I hope you find something better suited soon!

    Absolutely! It's just that you always feel that the company has the upper hand when it's yourself in the situation. It's a standalone role, so I really have nobody I can sound off to. I feel empowered again after all of your posts, I really appreciate it!
