Former EM, exited to Strategy role in Financial Services ~6 months ago. $260K TC in HCOL - low end, but I was going to make it work for flexible lifestyle and expected 40-45 hours. Hours are more like 50-55/week, and I need to be in office 3x/week. Has anyone re-recruited this soon after an exit? Any advice on approaching the search if so?

You’ll need a good reason for re-recruiting because it’ll certainly come up in interviews. I can understand hours are unpredictable but did you not know that you’d be in the office 3x/week? What’s your main reason for looking for new opportunities?

Just say the usual
Bureaucratic, slow, low impact
Better to pull the cord now while it’s fresh and you already know it’s a bad fit rather than stay the requisite 2+ years.
I think most would understand

Give it a year then look

Generally give it at least a year, but it's ok to leave earlier if you can explain it later. After you've made the exit you can also remove it from your LinkedIn.
