New role isn’t what I was sold. How awkward is it to ask your previous boss/employer for job back? Old Firm is also super small.

Lol true

If you left on good terms and had a good rep, just have an honest conversation with your previous superiors and see if there is an opportunity to come back. But unless you care about maintaining the relationship, you wont be able to jump again for a few years.

Happened at my employer about 5 times that I know of, usually a good sign…but a hard one to swallow if it’s within one year

If people come back at the company they worked for

Curious what isn’t as advertised because I’m kind of feeling the same 😅

Yea. I left my previous role because there was no upward growth - but at least exposure was better. Kind of concerned now - but trying to figure out best way to leverage next 6 - 12 months if I’m stuck. I don’t mind going back to old shop - but it’s the awkwardness that I’m worried about lol
