New job offer.

[Josh123]

Ok so I left my old job of almost 5 years to this new job August 23rd I believe. The reason I left was because I was moving and I took this job since it was the first thing that was available. Well I got a call from this other company today and I talked to the guy some and made an appointment to see him tomorrow after work.

I shouldn't have any problems leaving this job if I end up being more interested in this other one correct?

i wouldn't expect a reference from them, but no, i wouldn't expect any trouble

Kind of sucks to commit and back out BUT you have to look out for you. I guarantee the company will do the same. I'd go for it.

probably no trouble and you'd be better off leaving it off your resume

They will forget about you in 5min.
You have to look out for you.

I agree but I had a very short timeframe to find something so I really had no choice. It's not a bad job but this other one could be better, I'll just have to see.

Unless you've signed a contract, there should be no problem. As others have said, they probably won't be a good reference...and I'd leave them off of the resume.

Companies don't care about you, why should you care about them?

Only if they gave you a signing bonus, or paid for something for you. Otherwise, move on if the opportunity is good and leave this place off your resume.

This. Gotta look out for yourself in this day and age. Just as the company does. You are just a $ figure to them.
