How bad would it be if I changed jobs 5 months after joining ? I just joined a new role and I’m looking to change in November cause I hate what I currently do.

whats your yoe? In my opinion, I feel like the first 3-5 years of your career is sort of your sandbox to really get to know yourself and gauge what truly interests you. If you don't like what you're doing now and you're fearful of the potential repercussions in leaving a job before x amount of time, then i'm going to wholeheartedly tell you to just pull that trigger. You're under no obligation to put these past 5 months on your resume nor are you required to tell your future employer about it. In the grand scheme of things, see this as a small road bump.

Well, if you hate it then you hate it. with the current economic circumstances, I am not sure how hard is it to get a new opportunity. Maybe and if it’s not a toxic environment, try to make it work a bit longer?

Well I only look at data. No development. Plus I was on a call today and the leads publicly call out people for issues in a call with 40+ people.

Also, I’m in training, the amount of effort team put into designing the training is 0. I’m watching videos from 2008 with so much static noise I can barely make out what they are trying to explain.

I'm doing some due diligence on a startup founder and I'd love another set of eyes. If you look up Jennifer Sethre of Intry on LinkedIn, she lists that she was President of Lighting Science Group Corporation from Nov 2013 to Aug 2014, but I found an SEC Form that says she was appointed President March 1, 2014 and resigned July 17. And if you look at the rest of her work experience, it is all top exec roles all the way back to her first job after university in '94, which is a VP role. Odd, no?

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
