Fwiw I was let go a month ago as well. 2 weeks after being let go, I got 3 rejections in a row and literally THE NEXT DAY I got a job offer. I never believed it when other people had stories like that but rejection is just part of the game and the right thing will come along

It was in Tech. I'm in SF/2 years out of UG. Wasn't actively looking to get staffed since I did want to leave and I think it was the bench time and a below avg. review that lead to it. Gonna be hopeful about this situation though, had earlier seriously contemplated quitting to focus my efforts on finding another opportunity.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
