Ungrateful for a Job I prayed for?

Last year, I spent around 8 months praying hard for a job. I was unemployed, anxious, and really asking God for an opportunity with good pay and stability. Eventually, I got the job I had been praying for, and at first I thought, “Finally, this is it.”

But now that I’m here, I’m struggling. The management culture feels toxic, priorities constantly change, expectations keep shifting, and I honestly feel like I can’t keep up no matter how hard I try. I’m exhausted most days.

Now I feel guilty because I’ve started praying for another job — one that’s healthier mentally but still pays well. Part of me wonders if that makes me ungrateful or even sinful, considering this was something I prayed for so hard before.

Has anyone else experienced this? Praying so much for something, finally getting it, then realizing it may not actually be good for you long term? What do I do? Is there something wrong with me?
