Does it look bad to leave an agency job you are miserable at to pursue a dream job opportunity even if you haven’t been in your current role for a year yet? Can I leave this on my resume and LinkedIn?

Recently left my agency after 6 months. Not miserable, just a better opportunity. A few weeks in and I have no regrets, just make sure you’re ready to stay at the new job for a while.

If it happens once, not a red flag. Could be a culture thing, could have been a bait and switch, could have been a shift in business, could be exactly what you’re describing. If it’s like 4 consecutive roles that are less than 2 years… kinda sus.

Sure, but a year’s experience usually doesn’t matter in the long run anyway.

Nope, won’t reflect so poorly especially since youre still so junior! If you’ve been there more than six months, leave it on your resume/LinkedIn. Go after your dream job!! Weber will only slow you

It’s not necessarily a bad thing and I would definitely still leave it on your resume. Just be ready with a concise explanation when you’re asked about it.

Recalling my first onboarding meeting in-house with the c - suite. Thinking back now recalling that they would often mention if someone they are referring to is a woman. For example, "Oh we have these two women doing x, y, and z and they do it well, a well-oiled machine." etc. I was the only woman in the room. They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?
