Recently started a new gig (less than three months). Team is great but client is a nightmare, deadlines and workload are insane and unforgiving and the type of work is a dead end road creatively. Another recruiter reached out with a role that is closer to the kind of work I want to be doing - is it awful to jump ship so soon? The agency is great but in remote mode I don’t have any interactions outside my team. Recruiting agency is newer and less established. Advice?

You won’t burn bridges. You don’t even know if you’re going to get the job.

You can ALWAYS jump ship. Your mental health is more valuable than some shitty client making bad work. If Simone Biles can back away from the Olympic Games, you can try to get another job you like more. Believe me.
