Took a new job only because I was laid off and desperate to find something, but it’s definitely not what I’m looking to do. Would it look bad if I left early (been about a month)? Should I include my current job on my resume or mention it if I interview?

Haha I see myself asking this question soon

I did exactly this a few years ago. Took a job to pay the bills even though it was a 25% pay cut. I moved on pretty quickly and the way I format my resume, it’s not even noticeable.

I did add it to the last background check. The place that I am at now didn’t say anything. I am 10 years out of undergrad and technically have had 4 jobs. The last one approached me for a 30% pay raise.

Who cares if you show 3 jobs? Life happens. Unless you just flat out quit the next one and can explain what happened, it won’t matter.

Also just FYI, you have no obligation to include a 1 month stint in your resume or interview.

Well, if you can make it work longer please do. If not, then don’t include this experience in your resume. I am sorry to hear about your bad experience

Not if the experience was short, no.

I’m about to leave a new job I started in May at the end of July since my other offer finally came through after being on hold. Same boat, OP.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
