Those of you who switched consulting firms and within one year realized it wasn’t a fit, did you leave within the year or stick it out longer? Any pros in sticking it out and hoping it gets better?

Trying to stick it out - network to get with people I click with, work I like, etc. But seriously considering just saying fuck it and going to industry.

Personally I don’t believe in sticking it out. No one blinks twice anymore if you switch a job after a year
