I was in your position once. I should have left sooner. I didn't because i had a short stint from another company before jumping to the mismatched company at that time. I also thought I could make it work. I was wrong. So assuming you haven't changed jobs too frequently on your resume, start looking ASAP.

Is there a previous company that you liked enough that you can boomerang back to? Might be worth consideration if you have trouble finding a new job so soon after joining your current employer.

I was lucky, I had a great relationship with a former public accounting senior manager who hired me to work for them again in industry.

Yes. The only regrets I have are staying too long because I thought I could change other people. I’m in a horrible place now because I’ve stayed too long at my current place and about to go on disability for mental health reasons. Find your people/place, don’t try to make it yours. Your happiness/needs/content/wellbeing [fill in your words of choice, except greed, I’d beg you] are worth it.

I left within 4 months. Best decision I ever made. Got a 30% raise and a better job. Been here for 2.5 years. I had the same thought process. Better to leave early before people are really counting on me.

Absolutely!

Should you discuss salary range with an internal company recruiter prior to setting up an interview? With external recruiters it’s pretty easy to talk about the expected range. I am trying to avoid wasting all of our time if i get to the last interview and they are expecting a salary that is too low for me.
