Has anyone left a job after < 1 year, specifically to go to an in-house position? Is this poor form even if the opportunity is too good to pass up?

Who cares if it’s poor form, just do it.

Don’t pass up an opportunity you really want just because of how it may look. If the job wants to hire you , who cares

Definitely don’t lose out on a good opportunity. I left a job less than a year because I was so miserable and to this day it’s the best decision I made and I wasn’t questioned on being there less than 1 year.

It’s a business. If they had to, they would fire you less than one year into your position so you should feel free to leave in less than one year. Even if it will be a bit awkward. Just rip off the bandaid

Idk it might be better for your growth to get some more experience before going in-house, but ultimately up to you

Hi all, How do you deal with having a good relationship with an ex-colleague, and then that person switches jobs, becomes a hiring manager, is hiring for a position you’re perfect for (experience + credentials) and then you reach out to them saying you’re interested and why it would be a good idea - and then they completely ghost you..I also sent an application via the website and got rejected. I am really always trying to help out old coworkwrs with getting jobs, but this is just frustrating 🥲
