Going with my gut here...

I can't do it.

It's not what I signed up for. Hell I deliberately might have tried to flub the interview because something was telling me this wasn't for me.

I blame people for fucking pressuring me to accept it, including the place itself when they kept hurrying me to take the post. And people with their "do it for the money!" "Think of the money"

Then don't take it. It sounds like the right move to me; seems to have been all lies from the beginning.

People who don't live your life don't get to make the final decisions about your life. And because the one making the final decision is you, the one who can decide how much influence they have is also you. Pressure hurts. It sucks, and it's horribly cruel of people to make cutting comments and ill-informed judgments. But pressure does not have to determine what direction you go. If you make the right decision for YOU, then you will be able to sleep at night, and there will be REAL friends, kind people who don't make value judgments, who will be there to help you cope with the pain dealt out by the false ones.

well technically they pressured me to take it sooner than I wanted to... and there were people around me also telling me to take it because "oh think of the money." They don't really think of everything else involved.

And I didn't want it to end up like the other place where I jump for the first thing available and then regret it and be miserable. I don't want to do that again.

Go with it. Money is nice but if you don't enjoy what you do, it's not worth it. Especially since they weren't up front about what you would be doing.

[tiamat1972]

Go with your gut feeling, I mean.

Oh sure, money is nice... but the old cliche is still true: can't buy you happiness.

They were so vague at the interview. It was only on Weds when I started and got the full briefing and was actually given some work to do that I was just: WTF is all this? I don't know any of this, this isn't what you prepared me for!

If they can't give you a truthful answer in the interview about the duties you could expect, what else are they lying about?

Glad to hear you quit.

Seems like the odds is against you here, babe. Screw this job and find another one. I get this "DO IT FOR THE MONEY" shit a lot ever since I left my last job recently.

[purajo]

Yeah, already walked in today and quit.

I don't want to be tied to a desk.
