Give it a little bit of time, you can still just be adjusting to it all.
With that said, I have had jobs where it wasn't the right fit from day 1, and I resigned in 3 months. No regrets about that either.
Trust your gut, but you could still just be adjusting a bit.
I think unless this place is making you miserable and stealing your will to live, I’d hang on for 6 months. You can do almost anything for that long and with the vaccine coming out, the market will probably be much better by summer.
If it’s not harmful to you (toxic environment of harassment) nor anyone else (clients promoting problematic behavior?), I recommend sticking it out for a couple of months. Talk to the people there and listen what they have to say about their jobs.
I felt the same way when I was entering my current job. I thought that the work wasn’t exciting and that the client has outdated POVs. But my coworkers genuinely loved their jobs and turnover is much less than anywhere else I’ve seen. Over time, I found that there’s actually some exciting work to be done and that the clients, although not ground-breaking, have a great relationship with the agency.
You may feel the same way weeks of months later, but it’s good to at least wait a little. If you really don’t like it, at least you can start looking while still having a job! :)
This happened to me and I left less a month into the job. By day 2 I knew something wasn’t right. When you know, you know. In the moment I was embarrassed but it was the best decision for me and I have zero regrets.
This happened to me in my previous job. I knew almost immediately, but it was because the environment and culture were extremely toxic. I ended up sticking it out for a year and then moving on.
However- I agree you should give it time. You may be able to push for change and further the account.
This happened to me as well I quit a month and a half in. I knew within the first two weeks the job wasn’t for me and I was stressed out going to work every morning. I’m glad I left when I did because I know it would’ve only gotten worse with time. It was a hard conversation to half with the hiring manager and he was mad but I had to what’s best for me.
This happened to me & my partner. We knew the second we got there it wasn’t the right fit. We were let go a couple months later. I guess they knew too. Went on to a much better job at a much better agency. Everything happens for a reason.
Give it time. A few years ago I stepped out of the ad business to move into a more corporate role. I can still remember exactly how I felt on that first couple of days - “I’ve made a huge mistake!” But after a week or so I started to settle in. 3 months in and I was flying. And I really enjoyed the next 5 years of my time there.
It usually takes a few months to land a new job. So start applying now. And by the time you get an interview and make it through the process, you’ll either have grown to like your current job or be ready to roll. Better than waiting 3-6 months to know you’re out only to have to wait another 3-6 months to get something else.
