How long do you give a new job?

4. Thanks, 90 days souds reasonable

Since they had asked me and I agreed, I thought I might have a bit of latitude in saying I thought it was a good move, but it isn't working out.

I've been in the accounting field for 30+ years and jobs can be tough to come by. I have three years wth this company, and it's a decent one to work for in a number of ways. My resume is spotty over the past ten years so I'd like to re-establish a track record of some stability. Factor in that I'm 55 and just jumping to another employer probably wouldn't be easy or ideal right now. Given what's happened with my pension and 401k, I'm probably looking at 12 more years of working, if I'm fortunate enough to keep on somewhere that long!
