Should you feel bad for turning down a job?
You shouldn’t feel guilty, though — there are times you should turn down a job offer, especially if the job isn’t at all what you thought it would be. It’s a two-way road, and ultimately it needs to end with both sides feeling happy and secure in the new hire.
How do you accept a job after turning it down?
If the reason you initially turned down the role is no longer an issue for you, the best way would be to approach the hiring manager directly. It is always better to call them and speak with them directly; this will show confidence, and give you a better chance of explaining yourself.
What to do if you don’t like your new job?
Try to write down exactly what you don’t like about your new job. This will help you to distinguish whether it’s the role or the company itself that you don’t like. Have a work journal. Write down everything that is bothering you. Do you think they will get better with time?
What to do if you change your mind about a job?

Should I quit my new job after 6 months?
It takes time to get used to a new work environment, make friends in a new office and fully acquaint yourself with your workload. If you’re still not feeling it after 6 months then hand in your notice, say goodbye and don’t look back. There is no point staying there any longer if you are not happy.
How do you deal with the urge to return to work?
Ask yourself if you would be willing to return to those problems. It could be helpful to meet up with old colleagues to see if any of your pain points have been resolved. The grass will always seem greener on the other side so try to look at this as objectively as possible.
