Leaving FB after 7 months and returning to previous employer: how much resume damage will this cause? How long after can I apply to new jobs?
Reason: mental health is really suffering. Maybe remote onboarding/wfh is part of it, but I don't think I'm cut out for this place either.
Previous employer is a small company, not a FANG. Pay is half FB.
YOE: 2.5

You’re 3 mths away from a year . You can do it and you’re good enough . If you’ve gotten into fb you are good enough
Take it from a loser like me who’s interviewed 5 times already
Why not just ride it out and see what happens, worst case is you make another half year of the TC get fired.
There a plenty of resources at FB to help you with this.
- Search wiki for mental wellness benefits
- Search workplace for posts
- Have an open conversation with your manager
- Talk to your HRBP
- Switch teams
Leaving the company should be your last resort.
