Give it time... I had a hard time as a new joiner (having worked in several other consulting and finance firms), and before I know it, that was 2 years ago

Who cares... it’s easy to explain

For sure, this happens all the time. Whatever what you do try to understand why you don’t like it over there. It might bring valuable lessons for the future.

It’s totally fine to change jobs whenever you feel it’s no longer working out but I think it would be a greater miss if your next role is not building upon that.

Waited until my sign on bonus agreement of 1 year was up, applied immediately after and landed a much better role

Is life insurance a priority to anyone at the moment, and if so why is life insurance important to you?

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
