Is it bad to look for a new opportunity within a year of joining a firm? Recent college grad and the firm I’m at is just not supportive of my career growth goals.

If you’re landing interviews already (esp with MBB) then kudos. I wouldn’t worry about how it looks; just do well and get offers.

Do what’s nest for you. Nobody knows you and your needs beat like you. Forget the respectability politics. Life is too short for that.

If you're really not growing, then it's hard to justify staying longer. But know that it will be harder to get what you want. Some recruiters don't like only a year in a position, especially if you're jumping firm to firm and are right out of college. Others will discount the year and start you at another entry level position. And others may low ball you.

My recommendation is either wait till the 1.5 year mark or stick out the job search long enough to get what you're really looking for.

Nope. Take advantage of the first year

Hello All!

I currently work as a contracted Operations Manager but I’m in need of something a little more sufficient as far as salary.

I really want to get out of the 35-40k salary range and I have the experience to do it just not the degree. I think I suck at interviews too (I get really nervous and start doubting myself). Any tips or suggestions?
