I’ve been in a new role for a matter of weeks. My previous job was fixed term so couldn’t stay there .
New job is in a fairly niche area, well paid, interesting, excellent environment and colleagues. But it’s a lot, very challenging. The commute is an hour each way and is costing £££.
I’ve been contacted and asked to apply for a different role, still using my skills, probably more suited them actually. Still a challenge but more streamlined if that makes sense. A lesser salary but minutes from home. I know a few people there who love it and have been there long term.
I’m so fucking torn, I feel very guilty potentially leaving new job after a month. But a big change to my home life has happened recently and job b would lift so much pressure, certainly in the short term but potentially for much longer too. I’m a single parent, with only one person for practical support and childcare.
I feel like I’m letting current employer down, they’ve already invested so much in me time and effort wise and feel like a massive bloody let down. I feel like I need a good shake!
can anyone offer me any wisdom at all? From a recruiters perspective even? Would you hate someone who left after a month?
