I love my job but they cut my hours, so I went job hunting. First interview and they offered me the job which is 30k more than I am currently getting. They want me to start in 3 weeks but I’m so scared I’ll quit my current job and then hate my new one and never get to go back.

Has anyone has a situation where they got the job and ended up hating it

$30k extra will buy you a lot of time off to yourself if you decide it's not the job for you.

Stash your cash like you're hiding acorns for winter

After you're gone there's always a chance they realise what they've lost and you can negotiate a return for more money.

Seems to be the rage these days

it does happen, but no job is permanent and if you absolutely hate it you can get another one. 30k is a lifestyle upgrade amount of money, and/or a lot of savings. however, no amount is worth a job that sucks. did you get a bad vibe in the interview or is it just the unknown? also can you negotiate with current job?

Just a friendly reminder that no one but you has your best interests at heart! Even if the new job sucks well you just proved your worth a lot more than you thought and established a precedent that you can in fact find another job!

I've always ALWAYS had "buyers remorse" when starting a new job but I think it's just anxiety of something new and unfamiliar. Once I've settled in it's always been fine. Just keep remembering why you left in the first place.
