New company might just be worse than my old.
I moved to a new position thinking that this will definitely be the right option for me moving forward.I only saw the faults in my previous company. Now that I'm at this company I realized that yes my previous company had its faults but it was bearable lol.
Not saying this to gain sympathy but I definitely didn't appreciate some of the better qualities they had and I miss them :'(. This was a lesson for me. And sadly I can't return to my previous role because it's filled

Has anyone successfully landed a job out of state?
I'm in the final stages of possibly landing a job at a phenomenal company out of state, in an area I'd love to move to. My SO and I would rent out there but we need to sell our house first. His job is flexible so no issue there and we don't have kids. Luckily we live in a desirable area where the houses…

I was made redundant last December, just after returning from maternity leave, and it was a tough time with a little one at home.
Since then, I’ve been actively applying for jobs but rarely hear back. When asked why I’m looking for a new job in interviews, I haven’t always been sincere, giving different reasons. Recently, I decided to be upfront and told an interviewer that I was made redundant. But their response thre…

Another division in my office has a large team with the same roles for each team. They just had someone come back to the same role on a different team after moving to another company for 6 months. If you think you'd prefer to go back to your old workplace, keep an eye out for openings (presuming you didn't burn any bridges).

I have first hand experience with what you are saying. I left a career path at a large company to do something in another industry. Well, the culture in the new industry was one of less autonomy, and the management team was so horrible, in too many ways to list on this post.
