I boomeranged for same reason. I didn't enjoy the work or the environment at new company. Good news is I got a bump going out and got a bump coming back in.

Samsie. I'm planning my boomerang. My new job ruined my mental health. Sometimes that pay raise really is too good to be true.

Meanwhile I’m re-boomeranging. Came back to my old place with some very tinted rose colored glasses and it’s been misery since about 3 months in. On my way out after they pay out holiday bonuses here in a few weeks.

Not even getting a significant pay bump. Just want to not hate going into work every day.

Yeah, it entirely depends on why you left in the first place I suppose. For me I only left because of the compensation, and the new company has more prestige, so good for the resume. Then 9 months later I realized me having a panic attack every time I get paged for production issues isn't worth the brand name and the money they pay me haha.
