Switched firms number of months ago, new job is okay but not 100% the job description; firm wasn't top choice. Is it okay to start a conversation with recruiters at other firms where I had offers?

OP- you can check options , but you need to be careful as some times short gigs doesn't look good at your resume..,if you are not currently suffering , I would think you should give it a chance a few more months

Assess options now then make a decision. Work out if what you've experienced over first bit is representative of what you will get over the next year or so as well. Don't know many people who get their dream project on the first go around.

Op - did you move from one big 4 to another ? Or industry ?

Sounds like OP is doing pretty good; but just doing some fine tuning!

It's nothing to do with the firm, love the firm. Just got a bit discouraged that some things on job aid aren't going to be in my reach for quite some time. I thought it would be strategy formulation and implementation. But looks like solely implementation.

Stay for at least one full performance year. You'll get the bump/bonus and feedback to know where you stand. You will also have a better since of your ability to ask for (and get) what you signed up for.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
