How long is ideal these days to stay at a job simply to ‘put your time in’ and leave on good terms in that sense?
The job isn’t toxic, affecting my health, etc. it’s just not the right job and it’s not what I signed up for. So I want to stay for a minimum period of time. Is that 1 year? 2 years? Less than a year?

I also learned through applying for a transfer that they’ll want me to stay in my job 3-4 years before moving to the department I want to. I’m at 1 year, it seems like a lose-lose

“Just not the right job” is actually the biggest reason to leave a job immediately. You can at least cope with a toxic job that’s messing with your health as being advantageous for your career or where you want your career to go. But a job that doesn’t do that? Start looking elsewhere and put your 2 weeks in once you get an offer you like doing what you actually want to be doing.

I wouldn't quit until you have an offer in hand. Even with great skill and work history, in the current market offers don't come as fast as they did a year and a half ago.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
