Was sold a job that is nothing like I was told during the interview process. Big raise, but hate it after less than a month. Wife is currently staying home to take care of kid. What would fellow fish dads do? Should I try to stay for 6 months or find a new gig?

Yes, but also is it a big company? Try to at least make a name for yourself with good work, make a network, and if possible shift/lateral elsewhere.

I say this as I’m a huge “grass is always greener” person. Always looking for the next opp so I get it.

Not sure a month is a fair sample size. Also, do you actually hate the job…or do you just not like that it doesn’t seem to be as advertised?

Start looking and just see what else is out there. It’s an easy story to tell if they ask why you are leaving so soon: the job I’m doing isn’t in line with the position I interviewed for.
