Coming out of UG, I accepted my first job b/c I thought I had to based on status of other interviews.

Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.
