I started my first job as a staff accountant after graduating a few months ago, and I'm already looking at other jobs. We're short-staffed, I work most weekends, and I've never been properly trained since everyone's so insanely busy. Should I give it more time or am I doing the right thing, looking for something better?

You’re doing the right thing. I also left for the same reasons and I’d do it again!

From what you're saying, you're in a pretty bad spot. So you might as well be looking for something better. In most circumstances it's best to spend more time in your first job. If it's really an awful atmosphere and you're not learning anything, that's the time to break from conventional wisdom and find a better job.
