Would it be smart or dumb to take a three month Leave if Absence from my current job right before starting a new one in case I hate the new one or a recession hits and I get fired? Current job is federal at Accenture so more job security

Check your contract - it’s likely you can’t work at another job unless approved by Accenture, LOA or not. Chances of them finding out? Possibly low.. but if they do, you’d definitely be fired from Accenture for breach of contract and they may tell your new job as well.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.
