I started a job less than a year ago, and I am certain that this is not the work I want to be doing in the medium or long run. How soon is too soon to leave?

You’re fine for timeline. It takes a while to actually find a spot so I’d recommend looking now. Might end up being at 1 YOE once you jump, which will look pretty normal on your resume.

Just say no. “Sorry, I’m at capacity”. “Sorry, I can’t get to this till next week”. Everyday I see people on here posting about how they’re going to quit with no new job, or how they’ll take a 50% paycut to go to in-house or small law (neither of which is a guaranty of WLB if you’re wondering). If you’re ready to leave anyway, why are you so bothered about what the partners will say if you just… don’t do it? Most firm’s official requirements are 2000. 2000/12 = 166 a month. (Cont’d)

I’m anticipating an early promo to audit senior (6 months of A3, just under 2 years experience) and looking to make the jump after this busy season. I don’t have my CPA, or any exams under my belt, but I am eligible. How much more difficult is that going to make my job search? Would it be better to take a few months off after to at least start testing to show I’m not slacking (finances are not an issue)? Any thoughts/advice appreciated.
