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.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
