Hi All- I recently started a new role 3 months ago that just is not seeming like a good fit. I was presented with full remote wfh, and 22k jump in salary. I think those factors enticed me to leave my previous role- but being in this new role has made me really regret my decision to leave. Should I consider going back to my old job or just start applying all together for new ones? I don't plan on mentioning my current 3 month role in interviews if I did look for new opps.

Every new job takes a while to break in and you will miss the familiarity of your old job and your old team. Give it 6 months. It took me a whole year to adjust to my new job and now I love it

Going back to your old job is advisable only if you have a good relationship with your previous manager or employer. If you ended things badly then it might be impossible. Why not give it some time? If it's still the same, then start applying for new jobs.

It's good to know you have a great relationship with your old job. I really appreciate employers that welcome their employees back :). The mandatory work on weekdays without OT is a red flag.

We don't have enough info about the pros vs cons of each job. What are they, for the most part?

I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
