I started a new job in the last two weeks and I’m curious if second thoughts are common. I think it’s too soon to tell if this is the right fit for me work wise, but it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. I was interviewing for my dream job at my dream company before C-19 made it go silent. I know I’m lucky to have a new opportunity but I’m worried I won’t put my best foot forward because I’m not excited about it. I may just be exhausted from burnout and a quick turn around. Any advice?

You bring up a good point about onboarding remotely. Any new position you take right now is going to be difficult to acclimate to. I’d give it time. I think it’s too early to tell.

I felt like this once, and the job turned out to be WAY better than the one I left. It really pivoted my career in a better direction despite that it only lasted two years before that office was closed. Give it time, and especially since the pandemic will slow your adjustment somewhat.

Did you get laid off from your old job? What made you want to apply for this current job?

First red flag is your recruiter comment. Yours clearly didn’t care about you, but about themselves and closing a deal. 99.9% are like that, so hopefully you’ve got a lesson learned there. The best jobs come through networking and personal search. Put your best effort into your new role. Look forward, not back, and everything works out for the better. Own where you’re at and drive forward!
