How bad would it look on your resume if you decided to leave 8 months in at your new firm. All other tenures have been at least 2 years. It’s to join industry for higher pay cuz I’m sick of consulting

I think you’re fine. Changing job norms make this way less of a big deal than it was 10-15 years ago.

Life is short. You can always explain. In capitalist economy no body researches so much why you left within 8 months after 6/7 years of experience.

Not bad - go for it. I left my most recent job in industry after 10 months and now trying to leave ACN after 9 months. Firms are still interested me

Well that’s cuz there are way more jobs than applicants at the moment. This kind of surplus hasn’t happened in a long time but wonder if it’d be the same once the economy gets worse.

Doesn’t look bad as long as you have the skills and a solid story to justify why you are leaving.

Start applying now, by the time you get your ideal offers, you may even have a year of consulting under your belt.
