I have been in my current role for less than a year. I am really not enjoying it at all and I am applying places but sometimes I feel like maybe I am thinking about leaving too soon. Something is telling me to follow my instincts and look for other opportunities. I have an interview coming up with a big 4 firm and I am nervous about that. Please any tips,advice, you can provide will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Follow your instincts! If something is telling you to get out - do it!

Don’t overthink it. If you have good job stability prior to this, it won’t burn your resume in the long run. If you’re unhappy there, find something better you can see yourself committing 3+ years to, and if you find it, just take it

Follow your instincts and invest in your future health and happiness. Plus, job hunting takes time so when all is said and done you may be close to or past the 1 year mark

As long as you can articulate a good reason as to your motive for leaving, go for it. Usually saying that you’re looking for a chance to grow with a company/upward mobility or that you’re looking for a company whose core values are more aligned with your own works well for this
