I started a new position less than six months ago and I’m not feeling like it’s the right fit for me. Should I be worried about burning a bridge if I leave so soon after starting?

Nah, just be professional about it. It's not even that unusual.

Nope. Like D1 said, if you’re professional about it then it’s better to leave sooner than later. You don’t want to waste your time and they also don’t want to waste any additional time training, onboarding, etc someone that doesn’t want to be there.

I left a job after 3 months. They’re on probation, too. If they felt it wasn’t a good fit they would end it so don’t feel too bad!

Nope! Find your happy!

Nah. It doesn’t matter. Life is long and most agency’s won’t last.

If you can hang on to 1 year it’s no blimish

Hi all,
I am tech guy with almost 3yr exp, but I want to switch to a Management role. Going for an MBA is not possible for me. I was wondering about the possibility to switch to a management role within the next 2 years without an MBA. Company/Brand is not a bar for me.
Can somebody please suggest how to do this?

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
