Have only been in my role for month, but I dislike it. I’d really prefer something internal where I don’t have to speak to customers. The technology, I’m over it, there’s nothing I like. Would it be bad to switch so soon?

My first CEO when I started work said that you will hate the job for the first 3-6 months, and to just stick it out. Honestly, that’s the best advice I’ve received from him.

Can you stick it out for 6 months and reevaluate? It’s so hard starting something new. It’s difficult to not be the expert, and to learn, and to be out of your comfort zone.

Our new hires are in orientation, training, certifications in the first month. I can’t imagine disliking it in such a short period of time.

I would hang in there esp if you’re transitioning from industry.

I was recently promoted to a new position at my company. I'm so excited to be taking on this new challenge, but it's not going as well as I had hoped.

I've been given a lot of responsibilities, which is great. But I don't feel like any of them are being prioritized or delegated appropriately. I'm getting a lot of pressure from my manager, who is quite demanding and doesn't seem to understand that I need time to get things done and learn new skills.
