How to quit a job you just started

If you need to quit a job you just started, treat it as a normal professional transition rather than an emergency. First, get clear on why you are leaving, so you know it is the right call and not just first-week nerves or a rough onboarding. Angela Duckworth's work on sticking with hard things is a useful gut-check: make sure the problem is the fit, not the discomfort of something new 2. Once you are sure, keep it simple and leave well. Leila Hormozi's point about protecting your own dignity applies here, resign directly and respectfully, have the conversation with your manager in person or on a call, keep the reason short and neutral, and thank them for the opportunity 1. Give proper notice even after a short stay and offer to help hand off your work, because how you leave is what people tend to remember 3. Then treat the whole thing as useful information about what you actually want, and carry that into your next role.
