Would it be bad to be applying to other roles even though I already have one (currently seven months in)? Only asking because I don’t like the place I’m at currently and since getting jobs right now is difficult, I want others to have a shot too. Any advice?

I don’t think it’s bad. If the role you’re in isn’t a good fit, leaving sometimes is best for both you and the employer. Sometimes jobs turn out to be different vs what you expected. It doesn’t hurt to apply, hiring managers and recruiters of course will wonder why you leave after 7 months but as long as you have a good story to share, they might be open to give you the opportunity. I left a job after 4 months and now leaving a new job after just 2 months in. I’m still getting interviews and an offer. The job market is difficult right now but you’ll be rejecting yourself by not applying.

Sure, if you want. Might be difficult getting any offers with less than a year of experience but not harm in it.

No harm in trying.

You’ve got to do what’s best for you. If you don’t have a patter of jumping jobs, then go for it. As far as giving others a shot, it’s a net zero if they backfill your role.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
