Started a new role at a new agency and I’m not sure it’s what I envisioned. It feels like they don’t have a need for me on the team. How long do you give yourself to settle in before you question if this was the right move? It’s been about a month. Being mostly remote doesn’t help, either.

I had a similar issue, but couldn’t stay in that freaking toxic place. If you feel that your agency hasn’t people you admire and work that can go to your book, move away!

Try and talk to your bosses.
They hired you for a reason. They want you to succeed
Talk about why they hired you, what their plans are, and when they think things might change.

If after having that talk things don't change for the better within a few months, start to look to leave.

Sounds like it’s a well staffed team! I’d give it a couple more months and then decide. The first few months tend to be a learning the ropes kinda period. Soon you’ll be stepping in more and more and then realize you have a role after all

Talk to your managers about where they think you can be most useful, and any other side projects you can pick up. It’s tough to jump in on projects or accounts that are already in motion, so use this slower time to pick up anything that’s been on the to-do list - think case studies, internal work to support biz dev, pitch deck templates, maybe looking at swag designs for new hires, employee handbook etc. and then in a few months you’ll fondly remember when you had some down time.

Had an interview today, for RN OnCall position. This is an extremely difficult position, but I bring not only a preference to work the hours they need but the experience and credentials to qualify for the upper range of the salary (RN, MSN, CHPN, 5 years hospice experience). I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
