Give it a few weeks but also trust your gut
For me it always takes a bit of time... Couple of months. It's hard to leave a place where you more-or-less know everything for something totally new, or something that stretches you, but you'll be better for it. If it's not a good fit for cultural out other reasons, it might be a different story, but this sounds like you need more time to get a feel of the work and start feeling confident in yourself again.
Larger shops have more resources so you tend to spread the pain. Smaller shops allow you to feel the pain more. However, smaller shops also bring you closer to the pride and results of the work you rate doing. Definitely not long enough to make these decisions from just 1 week .... but agree that you need to trust your gut. and ultimately have to do the work that you can handle.
Happy to report that every week and almost every day I have found things I am grateful for with this new gig! Thanks fishies! Your support is nice too.
This is so comforting. I recently completed 2 weeks at an agency I used to work at (aka boomeranged if that’s a verb) and they threw me in and while I know the process and gist, the client is a lot and very different and the onboarding took all bandwidth. Thanks for making me not feel dumb friends
If you don’t feel it, it’s not coming
