First off to start im a cnc machinist/programmer. I started my new job a week and a half ago but im being offered a job thats alot better than the one im at now. Should I pursue the new opportunity and not look back. I dont wanna burn bridges but if I get a offer how should I handle it? Also this would be my third job in 7 months but each time ive gone to a better job with more money. How many times is too many when switching jobs?

Two weeks notice is sufficent. Do they worry about you when there gonna lay off or terminate you? Do whats best for you and dont look back. I made this same mistake and regret it every pay day lol

i agree, think about yourself and your family first. If it makes dollars, it makes sense.
 
+1 go for it. Sometimes you have to put you first, sucks to leave a good company, but when it comes down to it, they're not going to keep you around because they feel bad, if it comes to lay offs. Business is business.

By all means, go for it.

Just start working on how you are going to explain 3 jobs in 7 months. Its like dating a girl and explaining exs lol "Yea I went thru this phase"

Most employers will look at you as a flight risk or someone who is smart and moves to benefit themselves but that's a double edge sword to an extent if they are looking for longevity in employment. Do you have any long-term jobs on your resume?

If you go with this place, are you looking to stay there a while or are you going to leave as soon as something better comes along, again and again and again?

If this is the place you want and the pay you need and you aren't looing to leave then its a no-brainer.
 
Definitely go for it. Just give them notice, which they might not even take. Obviously you should omit the "3 week" job from your resume in the future.
 
A resume is almost similar to a carfax.

What you don't list on there, might not be revealed for consideration.
 
let them know the situation. I would apologize and let them know that you do not want to burn any bridges but you have to do whats best for you. If they really care they'll pay more than the other job. if not, walk away and don't look back. they will understand, they're just like we are.
