DO IT but definitely know that bridge is burned and won’t be able to come back. Ideally it’s not a prominent name in the industry or else might affect other opps in that industry as well. For reference, I am leaving at the 4 month mark and going back to previous employer

Why did you leave? Have any of those things changed?

Then just get in in writing and it starts now not next round of company promo
I feel like short stints are much more explainable these days…due to terrible job market, tech layoffs, etc. if you have multiple consecutive short stints of just a few months , I do think that looks bad. As the other commenter said above, what has changed since you left the big 4 firm?
I see many more short stints these days, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Just make sure you’re going back to a better situation and not just promises. Good luck.
What’s not working? 3 months is too short. Doesn’t mean you can’t leave but you never know where people will land and it will impact your reputation. They made an investment in you when they brought you onboard and you haven’t given yourself enough time to be a full contributor yet. Are you sure you’ve given this a fair shot?

No one will remember you left. You are inconsequential. If there is demand in the future and you are available Accenture will take you.
Just don’t piss anyone off when you leave with unprofessional behavior, don’t get a bad performance review or feedback.
I mean, that’s just not true. The hiring manager will certainly remember.
Trust your gut. 99% of the time it is right.

I left Booz Allen after 8 months. Absolutely hated it. I nuked that bridge and haven't been happier. When I mention that I left them after only 8 months, just about everyone who knows Booz gets it.
