I'm reflecting on my decision to leave my job at a huge bank after just three months. I had previously worked at a big4 firm and was thrilled to land this new position, despite some red flags during the interview process. The commute is a killer—about an hour and a half each way—and I'm spending a lot on gas until I can move in August. Unfortunately, the job has not lived up to my expectations. The training was rushed, and I find myself doing tasks that I specifically mentioned I lacked experience in, which has been overwhelming. My main support person went on vacation for two weeks, and so did my colleague, leaving me to handle responsibilities I barely understood. My boss has expressed frustration with my need for support, which feels unfair given the circumstances. Today, I submitted a report for review but received no confirmation from the AVP. My boss insisted I should know how to handle it by now, so I sent it off, only to find out it was incorrect due to a data issue I had never encountered before. They scheduled a meeting and stripped away most of my work, assigning me to different tasks. The team structure is chaotic, with many new hires lacking experience, making it difficult to get the help I need. My boss admitted to being too busy to assist me during critical times. Given my experience with poorly structured teams and inadequate leadership, I'm starting to see this as a significant red flag. Now, I'm questioning whether I'm being overly dramatic about wanting to quit. This is a reputable company I've wanted to work for since moving here, but these past three months have been incredibly frustrating. I worry about how it will look on my resume if I leave after such a short time, especially since my last two jobs were also under two years. What should I do?
