It’s your career. It’s never too early to prioritize yourself, nobody else will.

Before, I moved in 1.5 months to a job that aligned with my career. Never felt better. Agree with R1 above. Make the move before you get too deep in something that is not aligned with your career.

OP, Never burn the bridge. I simply told them I got an offer that is much aligned with my career goal. Of course they were unhappy but you got to do what you got to do. The funny thing is that they reached out later with an offer for a position that I wanted back than. But of course, did not take it. If you are not planning to come back to the current firm or team in next 3/4 years, just put in the notice. They will probably ask you to leave immediately if you haven’t been long with the firm. However, it would also be a wise choice to leave the firm once you secure an offer first. That’s just me but if the current job is something you can hold even for a couple of weeks. Leave and start over.
