LetsGetPenisy69's journey

I recently hit the 3-month mark at my new job, and I'm already feeling that "daily dread" creeping in. I left a stable 8-5 position where I was well-respected, but I couldn't stand the CEO and a couple of colleagues. My new role offered a 20% salary increase and is fully remote, plus I get to work with people I know from my previous job. Despite these positives, I'm starting to doubt my decision. This is a hardcore startup environment, and the atmosphere is intense. Everyone seems to have a sense of desperation, treating every task like a life-or-death situation. There's also a lot of overlap in responsibilities, with people jumping in on tasks that others are already handling. The travel requirements are exhausting and weren't mentioned in my offer. I typically experience Sunday dread with every job, but now it's turned into a daily feeling of anxiety. By 8 PM, after putting my kids to bed, I find myself trying hard not to think about work. I knew this startup wouldn't be my forever home, but I'm already considering when my 1-year anniversary is so I can start looking for my next opportunity. I really don't want to return to my old job, but starting a job search now could jeopardize my current relationships. I know I need to stick it out for at least a year, but I'm looking for advice on how to navigate this situation.
