I recently joined a new company for about a month, and I'm struggling to feel connected. I feel like the company isn't the right fit. I haven't been engaging with colleagues, and my work doesn't excite me. There are gaps in what I know and what they think I know, leading to miscommunication. I joined without any orientation effort. The company is pushing for a certain culture overseas, but it's not really the case in Singapore. Would I be foolish to leave without an offer? I do dread work now.

That sounds really tough, especially so early on. That said, I probably wouldn’t leave without something lined up, especially in the current job market. Maybe give it a bit more time while quietly exploring other options so you’re not stuck if it doesn’t improve.

Thanks all and I understand where you guys are coming from. It’s nearly 2 months by the way, had a word limit there. My thinking is that I plan to leave before my probation ends so I don’t have to serve a notice. Like it’s really taking a toll on me mentally right now because how misunderstood I feel. My manager has only talked to me during 1 on 1s and no one in the company has bothered asking me how I’m doing at work.

One month is not long enough to give it a fair chance, and you really don't want to find yourself unemployed in this job market unless you have a lot of savings that could get you through 1 year+. I would start job hunting, but still try to give your current job a real chance.

It is possible to be somewhere where you aren't a good cultural fit. I wouldn't suggest leaving until you have something else lined up though. The job market is really rough out there.

I’d give it six months

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience.
