How soon is too soon to leave a job?
So suppose you've just started a new job and it's turned out nowhere near what you were expecting. How long would you give it before you go elsewhere?
Is 1 month too soon?

The salary is good. The people are really nice. I was just expecting a more challenging role.Pucca_Garu wrote: ↑Jan 30th, 2007 1:48 pmIt depends. Are you getting paid well? Are they @sses? I would normally try to get another job before quitting.
But there is nothing as too soon to quit. You are wasting their time and yours.

I guess my biggest concern would be that they get upset because they feel I didn't give it a try.Fragle wrote: ↑Jan 30th, 2007 3:04 pmGo for it..get the interviews and hopefully a job offer or two!
Your only options curently are
a) keep working and look for a new job
b) quit your job and look for a new one
If you really hate the job and have savings you can live on then you can choose option b, but otherwise you just gotta keep looking and working.
No time is too soon to leave a job. Don't waste your time, it is valuable. Your new employer will also appreciate you leaving sooner rather than later..less of a loss for them. Your priority is you, however and not your employer.
best of luck!

I know of a person who started a job, took advantage of medical benefits, then quit within the same month. Also was referred by headhunter...not sure where that guy's credibility standsTheMoops wrote: ↑Jan 30th, 2007 3:22 pmSo you've been there for a month?
Usually the first month or so is pretty slow for new employees just to get them acquainted with all of the new people/processes. If you think the job isn't going to start giving you more challenging work in a month or two, then I'd say get the hell outta there.
Best case would be to go talk to your supervisor about your concerns (not possible sometimes). Otherwise find another job then give your current employer a few weeks notice to find another person to take your job.

Then its company's fault for offering medical benefits within less than 3 months of service.charliebrown wrote: ↑Jan 30th, 2007 3:23 pmI know of a person who started a job, took advantage of medical benefits, then quit within the same month.
