I've been in my current job for about 7 months. I'd like to go back to the firm I worked for before my current role. How to explain? I left the first firm bc felt limited in opportunity. Current firm, I just don't feel like it's a good fit in terms of culture

If you were limited with opps. Why would you go back? Maybe look somewhere else

I'm interested in a role that's in a different part of the org, and there would be more opportunity in this role

Orgs love boomerangs if you left on good terms. Find an advocate from your old firm to refer you back in.

I got a $50k+ increase when I left. Should i expect to have to lose salary given the time I've been gone?

I wouldn’t go back unless they are reaching out to you. I’d look at the opportunities in front of you. Evaluate the market for what it can offer at least before trying to dive back into something you’ve been out of for a while now.

It’s difficult for me to give you advice when I don’t know your niche or specific market in consulting. The less than a year transition is also alarming for any employer. Best of luck!

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?
