It's not unheard of to get what you think is your dream job and you realize it's not great.
Or worse, you hate it.
If you've been here for a hot minute you know I'm an advocate for people being happy in their jobs and careers.

What to do if you've found yourself in this situation:

Take a deep breath
Try and find the positive
Find the disconnect
Chat with your manager / leader
Figure out if whatever you don't like is permanent or temporary
What enticed you to take the job?
Is there anything that could make you happy with your current situation?
How long has it been?
Soooooo nothing is perfect. Are you being realistic?
Are your expectations realistic?
Is it the job that sucks or the environment?
Do you just need a vacay?


What you can do to possibly avoid this situation in the future:

Be thorough in the interview process
Be honest when you're interviewing
Look at reviews online
Is there anyone in your network that has worked for the organization?
Do a social media search
