Would this look bad on my Resume?

So I'm in need of a little adivce from some people who have been working full-time for a good amount of time. I graduated in May 2012 (BBA Finance) and took an offer from the RE investment firm I had interned at during my last semester of college. After realizing RE was not my cup of tea & wanting a more finance centered role, I decided to pursue a career in corporate FP&A knowing that this was what I'd be happier doing. I received an offer in November after about a month long job search at a rather large (but not well known) healthcare firm as a financial analyst (Divisional FP&A). The work experience so far isn't bad and I'm getting exposure to projects I enjoy working on (I do realize that to most of you corp fin is not "sexy") but coming from a non/semi target school with a medicore GPA it was the best route for me to take. That being said, I was recently approached by a recruiter via linkedin from a F500 Data/Marketing firm for a corporate FP&A analyst role. Being the young and curious person that I am, I decided to take an interview with the firm and ended up receiving an offer yesterday for the position. Seriously? Pay bump is about $10k and benefits are roughly identical. I haven't formally accepted the offer yet, but I'm highly considering it. As far as my question goes, if I were to take the offer and switch firms, would the lack of time spent with my current firm

Looking for some insight from you guys. Any input would be appreciated.The long term goal (for now) is to stay in corp finance with a credible firm and get an MBA down the road.
