Hello,
I recently accepted a new position that offered a senior job title and seemingly more challenging work. It was an exciting time in my life, as I thought my career was moving up.

After only a month at this new place, I feel devastated and want to quit. Even with the fancy title and salary increase, this job was a huge demotion and is beginning to have a negative impact on my personal life. I have a solid skillset with a very stable work history in positions of increasing responsibility, and I am worried that if I stay that I'll lose my job skills. However if I quit, I'll save my sanity but will need to explain this resume glitch...

I learned that there were several people in this same position that all quit within months after taking it, yet on my interview they told me this was a new position.

I hate liars.

I suggest you have a good look at the contract you have signed and find a gate, because there's no such contract to be perfectly selaed and favorable just for the contractor (employer). Your situation is sad and heavy but you must make a decision thinki8ng just about yourself and your future. So what if you have to offer explanations? The most encountered explanation (and most efficient) is that you left because they didn't offer you any chance of promotion or any chance of evoluating as a person. Don't worry about that. Think about you.

Go with sanity, right? Wink

As has already been said, you'll have no problem explaining this "glitch."

Welcome to corporate America.

I agree with a previous poster, take the contract and read it carefully, you'd be pleasantly surprised to find out you can actually leave the job in an easy manner. Read carefully what your rights are and make a paralell in what you have been said you'd be offered and what you have actually been offered, If you find something wrong, then motivate your resignation through it ("The employer failed to deliver the conditions specified in the contract). If you have been lieid, it is clear that they have broken some "rule" mentioned in that contract. Don't worry too much about leaving too soon either. It's your life, your choices, make your move if you think this is the right one.
