<prompt> Human: I recently left a job of 6 years as a creative manager to take on a creative director role at a new company. The new job has a higher salary but I am largely unhappy here. The culture is a bummer, the work is boring and repetitive and skills wise it feels like a step down. To some degree I feel as though Ive been misled through temptation of title and compensation. Ive been at the new job 6 weeks now and it is already very apparent that the skills associated with typical creative director arent going to be cultivated here. Im torn between sticking it out and just collecting the larger paychecks 33 higher than before however benefit package is way worse so it nets out to a 10 difference over all - bleh! or attempting to get my old job back.The company I used to work for is a larger, public company with better culture and lots of resources. While Id be making less pay going back Im whole heartedly sure Id be happier. My old boss and I are great friends and we work well together. Im sure hed be open to me coming back but I just wanted to see what you guys thought of this situation.Anyone have any advice on boomeranging? Any best practices?Thanks!  <response>: 10 is insignificant - do what makes you happy, which sounds like moving back to the old job.Hell, even if it was straight 33, you still might consider doing what makes you happy instead of stressedetc.
