Took a gig in a team that got back to me with a contract faster than another team as they had to get approval, people on vacation more, etc etc. Was in need of employment certainty at the time. The other team, that fits my desires more, now reached out. Same org, two entirely diff departments and I've been in og gig for a month. Stick or ditch? Any advice for a youngin' like me?

Ditch. Do what’s best for you.

When I was in undergrad I accepted the only job offer I had which was at one of those big Indian contracting tech companies. A few weeks later I interviewed for a local tech role that paid way better, and didn’t require me to relocate. It was the best decision of my life.

I reneged on the original job acceptance and took the other job. There have been 0 consequences for me. Just make sure you don’t ghost original job. Tell them circumstances have changed and you had to make a decision.

In the end your situation should trump the feelings of any company.

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your post, but it sounds like you received an offer from one team at a company and now another team at the same company is reaching out? If that's the case, I'd pause before trying to leave. If it's the same company and two different teams, that's going to look really bad unless to talk to your supervisor directly.

If you don't like it, leave - like you said, you're young! you have plenty of time to try new places and experiment. Don't stick to things that aren't serving you!

I would leave. You have to do what is best for you.
