Hi all, does anyone know of any recruiters or hiring managers that work in Affirm Inc. I've been applying for a couple of jobs with them . The role I have applied for I know lam a extraordinary fit for
100% and can help the company/ department succeed. I have a good deal of experience with this role and would love to talk to a recruiter or a hiring manager more about this. If anyone
could reach out to me if you have any information on that I would greatly appreciate it.
Can anyone here give a referral?

A month on a job can be an eternity if it's the wrong job! Sometimes it's better to cut your losses early on rather than waste time waiting for things to get better when it's obvious that it won't. Don't worry what others will think. Do what is right for you and your life. You don't have to include that job on a resume BTW. I had a job where I left on the 2nd day. Why did I leave? Because a coworker was bullying me because I wore a mask. This was at the height of the pandemic and she cared more about the front desk "image" than she cared about people's health and she was just nasty about it. Do I put that job on the resume? Of course not! I found a much better job that respected my right to protect myself. Don't worry about something looking bad. At the end of the day, you have to be your own best advocate.
I don’t think so. That job wouldn’t have any hesitation to fire you. So why do we have to be loyal? Is the pay worth your drive?
I totally agree with you’ Companies don’t care about you and your welfare! I mean they would NOT hesitate to fire you for any reason! They might not like you or how you do things around the office!! I’m not trying to be mean but seriously think about it! What I would do is look for a new job while you’re still working!
Just a month?? That is not much time to really learn and adjust to a new job. How long is the commute? Why did you not factor in the commute BEFORE you applied or before you accepted the job? In this economy and job market, I would stick with the job and make it work as you do not know when or where your next opportunity will come up. I have been unemployed since late February of this year due to a business closing and just recently I have started to get quite a few phone screens and interviews while being on unemployment and only approved for $23 a month in SNAP (even on unemployment I make too much a month). For commutes, I have done as little as 20 minutes to as long as 2 hours depending on the road conditions and season. You also have the opportunity to relocate closer to your job if/ when you can afford it.
I agree. You should have considered the commute prior to accepting the job.

As far as boring goes, could they be easing you into things? The commute though, you cant change that. I get the commute woes. For me, depending on if I drive/traffic or take the train my commute is 30 min (rare and requires no traffic) to 1.5 hours (train schedule blows, but I can read or do self care during that time). If you can't cope with your commute, start searching. But if it's the boredom, give it some time or find out if there are things that interest you that you could be doing.
Sadly, many of the younger generations fail to realize it takes time to adjust to a new role and new people all the way around plus in most jobs it takes more than a month to train or be trained I do not have any sympathy for people who apply for a job, interview for a job, and then have worked the job and then they complain about the commute especially since we have so many tools at our disposal to do research. I have even heard people complain about a commute being too long even if it is just down the block from them.
I feel like with the job market the way it is, it will most likely be a while before your next offer, so I think it is completely fine to start looking. Nothing says you have to take the next offer anyway.
