I was in your position once. I should have left sooner. I didn't because i had a short stint from another company before jumping to the mismatched company at that time. I also thought I could make it work. I was wrong. So assuming you haven't changed jobs too frequently on your resume, start looking ASAP.

Is there a previous company that you liked enough that you can boomerang back to? Might be worth consideration if you have trouble finding a new job so soon after joining your current employer.

I was lucky, I had a great relationship with a former public accounting senior manager who hired me to work for them again in industry.

Yes. The only regrets I have are staying too long because I thought I could change other people. I’m in a horrible place now because I’ve stayed too long at my current place and about to go on disability for mental health reasons. Find your people/place, don’t try to make it yours. Your happiness/needs/content/wellbeing [fill in your words of choice, except greed, I’d beg you] are worth it.

I left within 4 months. Best decision I ever made. Got a 30% raise and a better job. Been here for 2.5 years. I had the same thought process. Better to leave early before people are really counting on me.

Absolutely!

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
