    Is it possible that when your predecessor leaves things might get better?

    If you aren't happy there and you feel like they don't like you, update your resume and start looking.

    Definitely update your resume and start looking again. I wouldn’t be able to stay in a job I hate!

    Why don't they like you? Ask for feedback as 4 months in you may be just still adjusting. It sounds like you need some support and should look at that first before you make a knee jerk move.

    Take a minute to assess objectively. When I took on my new role, I was very frustrated and realized that it was because I was dealing with a steep learning curve. I'd come from an industry where I had 16 years of experience and now had to start all over again and learn all new terminology and processes. Once I realized that, it made it easier to manage the knee-jerk reaction to want to quit. I was more patient and although it took me a year and half, I ultimately enjoyed the role because i became more comfortable with it.

    As for not liking you, what makes you feel that? Did someone say something to you or are perhaps your frustrations with the role causing you to come off as unwelcoming and therefore are being treated as such?
