I've started my new job 4 weeks back, and I am thinking of quitting.
My thoughts:
I am feeling anxious because of deadlines and new challenges. I am not feeling productive. I often feel confused in normal tasks. I feel I am not worthy of this job. I think I would not be able to perform better. I am comparing myself with my colleagues. Imposter syndrome has hit me hard.
I feel not interested in a lot of new execution work. I feel like I have lost interest in work and my career.
I find satisfaction on Friday nights because of the weekend, and I feel awful on Sunday nights because of going back to work again.
I often feel tired because of the change in my shift. In my last company, I was working the morning shift to the afternoon shift, while in my new company, I am working the evening to night shift.
Sometimes, I miss my old job and feel like going back to my old company. Should I go back to my old job?
I am experiencing this for the first time in my career. Should I quit? Let me know your thoughts.

It is quite natural to feel unhappy on a new job in the initial days, and comparisons between the old and new job situations further the feelings of frustration. Such thoughts have to be rationalized and gotten over. Is the new job really bad? Are you not able to adjust at all to the new situation? Have you given a real try to measure up to the tasks? Others may also have similar tales to tell! You had chosen the new job. By going back, will you not become the butt of jokes? How could you deal with colleagues? What is the guarantee that on joining back, you will be treated well?
By any chance, if you feel you are totally unable to adjust and cope with the job demands, you may look for a job elsewhere, not exactly where you had left. My opinion is, give it time. It looks like it is too early to call it quits.
