Feeling Stuck in a New Job: How Can I Convince My Old Employer to Take Me Back?

Hi all,

Please help me out of this particular dilemma. I was working with a company for a period of more than 1 year. However, during this time, I managed to secure another job that seemed more lucrative in terms of salary. Unfortunately, upon joining the new company, I realized that the role was not suitable for me. Now, I am no longer interested in working with this current company and wish to rejoin my previous employer. Could anyone advise me on what reason I could give to justify my return to my previous employer? I am finding it difficult to cope with my new job.

Best regards, Vinayak

Hi,

Even I have experienced the same, but yes, be honest with your previous organization. Especially, first speak to someone you were close with in your previous organization, and later speak to your boss. The trick is to be honest. Yes, I have done that, and I rejoined my previous organization.

Regards,

Yes, that's fine. However, I am sure that the previous employer would be asking me what is the probability that I may stay again with their company for a long time. I know that it is quite difficult to answer this question. I really want to know how I could tackle with this kind of questions. Please help me out of this cruel situation.
