I switched companies and I have to say it’s been a whole mess since day one and I’m looking to leave to go to another company. Since I’ve only been here at my current role for 5mo should I even put it on my resume?

Yes, it will show up on your background check. I had the same situation. Be honest, the job was not a good fit and rather than prolong the inevitable, you felt it fair for both parties to terminate your employment.

I guess I have a different opinion than others. If the role gave you skills or experience worth showing, I’d keep it on and be ready to explain why the fit wasn’t right. But if it adds confusion or doesn’t align with your story, it might be fine to leave it off and just focus on your strengths.

Depending on what you do a blank space can be a problem and need explaining. Best to be open and honest

I'm back and forth on this one. I do believe adding it to your resume is the best bet, but make sure you have a well-rehearsed (but genuine) response about your reason for leaving so soon. Sounds like you're on the way to bigger, better things!

Yes. They will find out. Acknowledge it, explain why you're looking to leave and why this is a one-off occurrence and move on from there.

No but we don’t like blank spaces either.

Yes, you should acknowledge it. Better that you do it yourself than have it turn up anyway. If you're interviewing just be honest and explain that the job didn't work out. It's always tricky to criticize an employer, it can make you look bad. But you can figure out a tactful way of expressing whatever the problem is.

FA, I wouldn't go into that much detail unless they ask. ESPECIALLY the part about it not having been mentioned in the application process. Just say the role ended up not being the right fit, and let them ask if they want more.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
