Contemplating a Job Change After Just One Week: Weighing New Offers

I just started a new job a week ago, but I'm already planning to leave for better offers. After a tough year trying to get back on my feet, I finally landed a job in April 2026, but got fired just three weeks in. That was a tough blow, especially since I had been laid off in April 2025. Fast forward to June 1st, I got hired on the same day as my interview, but I wasn't thrilled about the hourly pay of $27. I was desperate for work, though. Just two days later, I received two new offers: one job is 25 minutes away with a salary of $60K, and another is just 10 minutes from home at $31.50 an hour, which they later told me would be revised to a salary of around $65K. The hours are also better, from 7:30 am to 4 pm compared to my current 8 am to 5 pm shift. I feel uneasy about leaving so soon, especially since the onboarding process at my current job has been smooth, unlike the last one where I was fired. I'm planning to resign next Monday after my shift and send a resignation letter along with photos of my fob on the desk. The new job wants me to start next Thursday. I can't help but feel guilty about leaving so quickly. Am I making the right decision?
