Yes. You are not invested at two months in. If you are not enjoying it it’s better to leave early if you can rather than suffering hoping it gets better. Follow your senses, two months in should be the honey moon period so it is a bad sign if already asking should you leave.
I did similar recently. The job wasn’t what I was looking for, highly senior team in titles but much more junior / immature in reality than I’m used to and thought I was joining. It felt like a significant step down work wise and as the team was new it had a bunch of new team forming issues I had no time for as I’m a head down and work person. It was a shame as the work itself had potential to be really interesting and the company itself was very good with fully remote, every second Friday of the month off, quality of life perks etc etc.
Leaving early meant loosing RSU’s wasn’t an issue as I could make the difference back in a new salary. If I stuck around for the initial 12 month cliff for 40% RSU’s vesting I’d probably of hated each day, effecting my performance and then in the end leaving before the 12 months anyway but with a greater loss as wouldn’t of been able to make the difference back on higher salary vs RSU’s with time invested.
