My mind feels pretty scatter right now and hope to get your opinions. I was in a job for about 7 months and a recruiter reached out to me with a position that had a higher salary and better benefits. I wish I thought it through but I regret switching, I do not like the culture and the work I’m doing. I wish I could go back to my old job, I am 5 months in and I have recruiters reaching out. I was in my prior job for almost 4 years. Should I even bother entertaining new job prospects

Always, but especially if you’re miserable. Time and loyalty at a company doesn’t matter if you’re not happy. It never does any harm to apply and interview. The worst that can happen is it doesn’t work out. The best that can happen is you find the right fit for you and your career.

Yes, but make sure you can explain why you are unsatisfied in your current job and what you've learned from it.
