I just started a new job as an executive assistant at a college system about three weeks ago, but I recently received a better job offer from a larger university system for an accounts payable position, which was my first choice. The pay at my current job isn't what I expected, and they haven't provided insurance yet, so I'm feeling stuck. While my start date at the new job is flexible, I'm really tempted to quit my current position without giving the two weeks' notice that my contract requires. I feel like working here is a waste of time since I don't need the money and I'm not enjoying it. However, I worry that leaving without notice might hurt my reputation if I ever want to return to this company, even though my state is an "at will" employment state. I'm looking for advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation or has general thoughts on how to handle this. I really wish the balance of power in employment was more favorable for employees in the US.
Job title: executive assistant
