**1st YEAR QUITING ** Advice Needed
All, I need advice. At a BB. Hate my team. Hate the culture. Hate the work. I’ve decided to leave but my question is I’m ~8 months into the job. Do I stay until the one year mark or leave now if I have another job lined up? Wanted to see from a long term perspective of leaving 8 months vs 1 year in banking will have on my career/resume.
Zoom out a little bit, you're so young, go take some risk if that is what you want. 8 months is great experience to talk to in interviews. Perspective of a 50 year career, 4 months is nothing
I'd say same but leave after 12 months, it's always better than 8 months on a resume
I think you can balance the two. Start dusting off your resume now and getting everything in order to interview (e.g., preparing the script to walk thru your deal experience to-date). Then bear thru the next couple of months before you start interviewing, so then by the time you get an offer and quit, you'll have naturally hit the year mark already.
When should I start applying for another job then if my 1 year mark is mid July?
This. Excellent take on multiple fronts.
Would strongly advise against it unless you are leaving for a completely different industry/ career path.
I lateraled 6 months in and it was well worth it. Recommend dusting off the resume and see what happens. Always better to have something lined up, would recommend coasting until then. If you stay in banking you need to have a solid reason for leaving and why the new bank will be better. Regardless of your next job, you kinda need to stay awhile so you don’t look like a hopper.
I quit without a job lined up and was still able to find a job that paid more than base for A1 (110k) which wasn’t banking. You’ll be fine and best decision I made tbh
It's just crazy how much opinions differ on this. Genuinely don't understand the aversion towards someone who left their role to focus on recruiting rather than someone who is trying to recruit while working. Doesn't make much sense. Think this has as a lot to do with some of the "older" people on here and their mentality but could be wrong. Seems there is no clear direction on this. Either way congrats to you man.
