[quote=Anonymous]I recently made a lateral move to a different department within the same company and I'm really regretting it. I'm in a senior position and was great at my job. I was the person people turned to for guidance and had been there for a long time and helped build the department up. I asked for the transfer because I'm more interested in the industry my new department works with, but I'm feeling lost. There's another person here that has the same position I have and who has been here for several  years. She is basically what I was at my old position - the person everyone turns to, who knows how things work, etc. I feel like I have been demoted in some ways, like I will never be that person again. It's only been three weeks, and my husband keeps reminding me of all the things I was frustrated about in my last position, but right now all I want is my old job back (not an option)! I keep thinking, "What did I do???" Buyer's remorse. Is this normal? I've been with this company for 10 years, straight out of grad school, so I don't have a lot of experience switching jobs.
