Give up new job after 2 months ?

[Babyroobs]

Just looking for advice really. I started a new job two months ago. I wasn't entirely sure about moving as I loved my last job but the money was poor and no expenses paid. The new job hasn't exactly turned out to be what I thought it was, although to be fair to my employers it is a new team being set up and at the interview they could only give vague details ( sorry that sounds odd). Anyway basically the job has turned out to be quite a bit further away form what I thought and I'm doing 2.5 hours travelling a day on the days I need to travel. The rest is home based but this has turned out to be more than expected and needing to take client calls which is difficult with teenagers / dogs etc that bark at every little thing and an extension about to be built !! Basically I'm miserable, there isn't much work at the moment ( although this should get better) and it's isolating. The money is better but I'm feeling depressed with it all. I'm also struggling with some aspects of the work and it's stressing me. I wont give it up without another job to go to but just feel so disappointed and think I made a really big mistake. Is it too early to quit ? I feel embarrassed as the company have probably invested quite a bit in training us but then it feels quite far removed from what the job is meant to be. Sorry can't really give more detail without being outing.

I think you have given enough details. Start looking for something else now, and just tell them what you put in your OP.

If you know it's not for you, it's never too early to leave - if you don't get something else lined up now, you might sink into a depression that means you won't bother, and that'll just be awful.

Get interviewing and get out.

Thanks both, I really needed to hear that. I guess I just feel embarrassed.

Never too early to leave if you dont enjoy it - if you are asked at interview why you're leaving so early you can just explain that the job isnt what it was advertised to be.

I left a job after 6 months a couple of years ago and I felt such relief when I handed my notice in!

Me too Molly. I hated it, I booked time off for a holiday, and before we left I said to DH I can't go back. So I wrote my resignation letter and posted it before I went on holiday.
I really enjoyed that holiday
Good luck baby

I did this, twice in a row. It was really tough at the time and I was kicking myself for originally leaving my stable but unfulfilling long term job in the first place, but I eventually got a much better job and things have worked out.

You have to be out there to get the right thing, so if it's not right for you quit and don't look back!

I was worried I'd look bad in interviews having quit a job (actually 2) but the second one I'd only been there weeks so left it off my CV and the first one (a few months) I was just honest and said why it'd been wrong and no one batted an eyelid, in fact for me it was a kind of filter as if the job I was interviewing for was likely to have the same issues then I wouldn't want it anyway.
