I started my current job a few weeks ago, but I already know I need to leave. It’s a mess because I have a big gap on my resume right before this, and now I have to reach back out to recruiters I said no to last month. Do I include this tiny stint on my resume to show I was at least working, or is it better to leave it off and explain the gap? I want to sound professional but honest.

I’d just leave it off

I would leave it off your resume for now. A few weeks won't add value and will probably just raise more questions. Be ready with a simple, honest explanation if asked about your timeline.

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
