    The expenses part is very common. I'm dodging training in my current role (there isn't much of it anyway) because of that clause. I won't be there after September next year, so I'm not paying for training.



    Well, first lesson learned is to read your contract. Does it say when your pension kicks in? Pensions kick in after completing probation in some companies. Ditto for health insurance. Good to hear that there is a probation period in your contract. I'd get clarification of what that entails.

    Agreed on the probation, if you're on probation the notice period will most certainly not be 3 months. Best to clarify with HR or your line manager.

    It'd still early days.

    You are in the job 4 days give it time you might become great in it.

    My own role is something I had no clue about in IT and love it and push myself everyday to give 120%. I have learned a lot and won't to learn more.

    My dept is a mess at this moment time. I am trying to put control and a clear plan for it in place and have endless disagreements about doing things better and cheaper.

    Who knows that could be you in 2 years time

    I started a new job on Monday after working in an IT team lead role for 3 years.
    I already feel like I have made a huge mistake as the job is less of an IT role and is more focused on Finance, something I have little knowledge of.
    I’m already looking for new jobs but its a small town and the chances are slim of landing a new role in the near future.
    It would also look very bad if I were to leave so soon.
    Any advice or tips on what I should do??

    If you were happy enough in your previous job and you didn't defecated on top of your bosses desk before announcing that you quit, then maybe there is a chance that you will be able to come back. You can also try to turn whole situation other way around and tell them that you've gave up your job due to financial reasons so if they will pay you more this time, then they can be happy to have their best IT lead back ;)
