Not sure you can job hop too many times though. So be sure of your next move.

Suggest you give it 6 months from your start date. You should have a true sense of what the agency is like in that amount of time and 6 months is enough time to not look like a red flag on your resume (so it doesn’t look like you jump ship too quickly/constantly). Unless it’s a truly awful place, then get outta there as fast as you can. Life is short.
