Hi! I’ve been at Goldman for 10 months now and got approached by a faang recruiter and interviewed thinking it would be good practice. I ended up getting a product job and that was my long term plan post mba. The pay is also over double what I’m currently making. My boss isn’t the nicest and I’m really nervous about putting in my two weeks. Is it bad I’m leaving within 10 months? Any tips for putting in my two weeks or what to say? Thank you in advance for the help

You are in the business of making a living for yourself and your family. Leave with proper notice and enjoy that extra income in a position you’ve always wanted to be in. They’d let you go if they could pay someone less, you’d be naive to not leave for a better opportunity, respectfully.

I think you're good. I've seen people who have left after shorter tenures. The only potential issue would be if the new job has some bad vibes on the team, but I'd say that you could just plan for a new one in the worst case.
