Please help me make this decision

[Lonelylockdown22]

I've taken a new job and I think I might have made the wrong decision. At the moment it's not too late to go back on it, although it would be mega awkward because I have already accepted the job.

My current job I have only been in 4 months. I think I have been way too hasty in deciding I don't like it. The pros are it's very little stress, the hours are good (I am in a job where good hours are very hard to come by) I have a supportive manager. The cons are that it's a 40 minute - 1 hour commute from home although I could move closer to it.

The job I've accepted is pretty terrible hours although it is a ten minute drive from home. It had the potential to be quite stressful but it is in a field I would probably enjoy more. I would get paid a bit more because of the unsocial hours.

A friend of mine interviewed me and gave me the job so that would be really awkward if I contact her to tell her I don't want the job anymore.

What were the reasons that you decided you didn't like your current job? You haven't said what they were.

When did you accept? If it was, say, Friday then I would contact her asap to apologise and say you've slept on it and feel your initial response was the wrong one.

But also, what's made you doubt your choice? Will the hours never change? What made you apply in the first place and what was wrong about your current job then?

I accepted the job three weeks ago.

What I don't like about my current job is that the unit is very disorganised and sometimes I feel a bit bored there. I also don't feel like I am that good at it but then again I've only been there four months and it's nothing like anything I've done before.

No, the hours are very unlikely to change.

If you include commute times how do the hours for the two jobs?

Do you have a family and do you own / rent? I.e how much of an upheaval would it be to move?

I think you may need to give details on the jobs in order to get good advice because one may have better long term prospects etc than the other.

I don't have a family and I rent so it wouldnt be too hard to move.
