I left public on great terms about a month and a half ago for industry. I worked at a large regional for 3.5 years. I hate my new job and I am not getting treated very well. I left for a sizeable raise and for what I thought would be good work/life balance. It turns out basically all of the things sold to me in the interview were BS with the exception of the salary. Is it feasible to go back? I would rather deal with the things I didn’t love about public than my current job.

You’re still in the window where it’s not a bad look to return. if you stay much longer it won’t be great, but right now it’s pretty clear that it just wasn’t the right fit. Everyone has one of those on their résumés. Nothing wrong with tryingsomething new, And there may be some things that you learned in your role that you can bring back to the public side.

No sweat. I once had someone give me similar advice. I’ve always tried to pass it on because there’s a lot of perception that it’s bad to leave a job quickly, when in reality almost everyone has one or two places that just weren’t right.

EY 3 - did you complete the recent training yet "New Ways of Working"?

Assurance may be much different- not sure. If what you're saying is accurate though, it seems to completely contradict what KG is saying in video clips in this training.

The numbers I threw out were hypothetical, but it's truly what I am expecting. WFH unless client says "be here".

If you left on good terms and they have an opening they will take you back. I’ve seen people do this multiple times at a place I worked. Welcomed back with open arms both employees with promotions. It was actually easier for them to get the title and pay they wanted by leaving and coming back then when they were there. Says something about the industry...

Any chance you just haven’t adjusted yet, and could stick it out for one year? If not, go for it. It happens. I had to leave a job after one month once; this was largely because I didn’t want the firm to pay the recruiter only to have me leave soon after. Temped at a small firm until I landed again. Scary but all worked out.
