Hey guys. I have an interview with EY Parthenon M&A Finance coming up. My recruiter said it will be an interview to assess my M&A/F&A Skills. Is that just a long winded way to say a case interview? Also does anyone have any tips on the interview process? Financial analyst here with experience in ERP implementation and working for the consulting line of business for my current company. EY EY-Parthenon

I feel like longer=better is antiquated. The people who move around tend to get to higher levels faster than the people who stay at one place longer.
You’re defining the need to switch from one job, not the need to keep flipping roles every 18-24months.
Here’s the thing: if you don’t make a habit of it, leaving one place quickly isn’t a big deal. I just left my agency after 10 months, but the jobs I had before that were 5 year and 3 year tenures. It’s fine. Take care of yourself and if anyone asks why you left so quickly you can say something generic like “it wasn’t a good fit” or say that the client work ended up being quite different than you had expected.
You’re gonna be fine. But, be very careful in evaluating new shops.
Take care of yourself. If you express your expertise well in the interview and don’t bash your previous agency (meaning make moving on about your growth and learning), you’ll be fine. I’m at my fifth agency in six years with a title promotion at four of the five. Nothing replaces your mental health.
My rule of thumb is 1 year minimum. If you're unhappy or unfulfilled where you are, don't feel bad about leaving. And don't worry about how it looks on your resume. It's pretty commonplace these days.
As long as you have reasonable explanations for leaving—mental health is a great one—I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
No role is worth more than your health!
I have a laundry list of reasons! The only thing holding me back is the length of time here. But don’t think it’ll be a huge problem as said above :)
You have one life. You do you. If they care about number of years at a particular agency over your talent, it won’t be the right place anyway.
A full time career job is like a very slow growing business with high tax rate, its your duty to maximise that revenue growth each year or you are literally losing money every year with inflation adjusted. This is why jumping ships is the best strategy from ROI point of view unless you are being aggressively promoted with atleast 10% paybump which rarely happens. Managers care about relevant skills, HR cares about quickly filling quota, no one has time to ponder how many years you stuck around out of loyalty.
