made a mistake, left my job for another and it didn’t pan out. took the first offer that came my way to make ends meet but after a week i know i will hate this place bc of the expected time commitments (24/7 on call, 15 min response to every email)

i need mental and career advice, i feel like im spiraling over my career future, i don’t know how i will ever be able to apply anywhere with a crazy resume now. id love to take time off but can’t afford

Don’t quit this job till you find another one you really like and aligns with your goals.
In parallel come up with a solid storyline for why you moved around so quickly.
Give it a positive spin.

What makes it a crazy resume?

And from what I’ve heard, if you spend less than a month at a job, it isn’t worth putting on a resume

Are you in investment banking?

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

Hi all, I have a more general post and would like to hear about your experiences - How do you know if the dosage of your anti-depressants or anxiety medication is too strong for you? How do you know when those medications don't work for you at all and when any new ones do?

Have you ever felt even more depressed and unmotivated on these meds? What other treatments has your psychiatrist offered aside from prescriptions?
