I knew after 2 weeks that the place I'm at was the wrong fit. I started looking after 6 months. I should've started sooner. Don't waste your time just sitting there if you know it's not right.

I haven't left yet. I've been here 9 months. Just had a 3rd interview yesterday though, so waiting to hear back. I've found that 1. No one cares in this industry if you jump ship quickly as long as it doesn't become a habit and 2. People seem to be very understanding of "wrong cultural fit" as an answer to why you're leaving so soon bc they've probably experienced it themselves at some point.

@AD - how’d you leave? / what did you say? I am thinking sooner rather than later (I.e. 3mo tops).

I'm experiencing the same thing (3 months in) and also wondered when is too soon. While I'm not actively looking for a new job, I wouldn't say no if an opportunity presents itself.

Had the same thing happen to me at a previous job. Could tell 2 weeks in they had misrepresented the opportunity & wouldn’t get me anywhere. It might be worthwhile to try talking to your current manager? Like a one month check in. I had that conversation a little late (right around the time an old interview randomly turned into an immediate offer) but they may be able to help you out at least in the short term

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

Hi I have a question. I have been in media for television and radio for 20 years. I am looking to pivot to tech and I have an interview next Friday with a recruiter. It is for an executive broadcast booker position at Meta. There is no salary listed for this position or no previous salary history on glassdoor. I did find a salary listing but for Colorado and the minimum is 217,000. If I am questioned about what am my salary expectations; if i said 28000 is that too much & will that scare them.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
