I recently started a new role after a long 10-month job search, but I've only been here for about a month and I'm already contemplating leaving. The workload is overwhelming, with 50-55 hour weeks and constant pressure to meet tight deadlines. I feel like I'm always racing against the clock, and the stress is taking a toll on my health. I'm not sleeping well, often skipping meals because I'm too busy, and I've even lost weight since starting this job. My energy levels are so low that I struggle to enjoy any free time outside of work. I've begun applying for new positions, but I'm anxious about how long it might take to find something else, especially after spending so long looking for this job. Part of me thinks about quitting right away since I don't believe I can sustain this pace long-term, but I'm also worried about how that would look on my resume, considering I'd only have been here for about three months in total. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has faced a similar situation and what factors led them to decide that it was time to leave. What signs should I look for before making such a big decision?
