I just started a new job. I left my previous job because the environment wasn’t healthy and almost all of my colleagues left. The team at my new job is nice but the nature of the work doesn’t align with my interests/is not as unexpected and I’m struggling to stay motivated. I realize I made a poor decision. How bad would it be to quit after only 2-4 weeks? Or, instead of quitting should I ask if I can move internally?
