I've made a huge mistake changing jobs!

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 made a move just under 6 months ago and whilst I can see huge potential in the organisation the Directors and I have very different values and ideas about what it is to manage people. There is a very negative and mean spirited attitude towards wellbeing, development, reward etc.
    Needless to say I just needed the reassurance that its ok to cut my losses. Thanks Community!

  • It's great isn't it Victoria. You can feel very isolated and even like you're losing it! But then you come on here and get the support and reassurance you need. I'm slightly fearful, as I'm not really in a financial position to be able to not have pay coming in, but I feel so much better now that I've made that decision. Good luck!
