Meh about new job?

That's just it. I feel "Meh".

On paper, it's a dream job. A bit low in salary terms for the job spec but that comes with the sector territory.

There's just something about it that doesn't gel. I don't feel I have particular report with my manager, who I've never met in person because we're based all over the country.

It's a bit of a sideways move in that my sector experience is valued as a useful perspective in this very niche and particular culture. I'm just not sure that culture is for me.

I've been in my job for 3 weeks. It's fine. It's not bad. I should be excited by the project ... but I feel ambivalent.

I could do a good job of it, work hard, collect a salary, be well positioned for other stuff in the future. Or, in an employee's market, could find something that lights me up a bit more.

Assuming I could / did move on, how would I reflect that on my applications? How would you express what I've said in a way that makes sense to a recruiter? In short, WWYD?
