Anyone leave a job after 6 months / under a year? Realized I don’t want to be accounting focus anymore and have the opportunity to lead both accounting/fp&a functions. Really enjoy the team I work with though :/

Not long ago I obtained bachelors and in the interim I have been working at Morgan Stanley.
