leaving mbb in 1 year 5 months (17 months)

Hey y'all,

Is 17 months too early to leave consulting?

I've landed an exit opp that i'm very excited about.

Tried negotiating my start date (delaying by a month), but they aren't too keen...

Should I jump now? Frankly, I'm getting quite bored of consulting as well...
