I was let go from a job I held for nearly 7 years earlier this year, and since then, I've been on the hunt for new work. After searching high and low, I found a bridge job that didn't pay well but allowed me to explore my options while looking for something better. I went through several interviews and eventually landed a full-time role that wasn't my first choice but I accepted out of desperation for a better paycheck. Now, I'm in my first week at this new job and I'm quickly realizing it's not the right fit for me. The company culture is the complete opposite of what I value, with aggressive sales tactics and a focus on selling credit cards, which clashes with my personal ethics. Plus, I'm a student and only need a job for about six months to save up for my internship next spring. Unfortunately, this job can't accommodate my school schedule in the fall, meaning I would only be able to work here for a couple of months. My previous bridge job has offered to take me back anytime since I left on good terms, and I'm seriously considering quitting this new job to return there while I search for a position that aligns more closely with my values and can work with my schedule. Is this the right move?
