Turned down a job is it too late?

    Hi,

    I've had a terrible dilemma over the past few weeks, I got an offer of a dream job, granted there would be a few sacrifices to be made if I took that job, -taking a salary hit etc

    I decided to accept the dream job and I resigned, but my company came back with a significant counter offer (it would result in thousands in the difference)

    I started to feel really sad about leaving my current company
    I was faced with a dilemma, finally I decided to take my company's counter offer, however 2 weeks have passed and I am feeling desperately unhappy. All the old feelings of unhappiness with the role have since come back.

    Should I go and see if there is any chance of getting the dream job back? Or would I mess things up with both companies? The dream job is something that I won't ever get offered again...
    Before I accepted the counter offer and when I thought I was leaving my current company, I had left it on a really good note, they said they would consider me again down the line, is it really stupid to even consider the dream job again? Plus the dream job needs me to start ASAP by now I would not have enough time to work 1 months notice with my current employer, but I now feel I will end up leaving for something else anyway....

    I think you made your decision and have to accept the consequences now. No going back.
