Getting Full Credit for Analyst Stint

Currently a second year analyst (almost third year) looking to leave in the next few months for something on the business side of tech. I started Jan '21 so at this point I've got 21 months under my belt according to LinkedIn. I don't want to leave "too early" as I want business schools, future employers, etc. to recognize that I did the full analyst program. If I left next month or the following, would this be an issue?

On the one hand I want to tough it out so I can hit the full two years but on the other hand most analysts that start on cycle leave in 22 months. I really want to leave ASAP because I just got my bonus (it was bad, so no point in staying for the next one) and I want to take time off between gigs to travel and enjoy fall / holidays with family. That said, if it's worth the pain of staying, I could tough it out, but no point in prolonging my suffering if it's unnecessary. Interested to hear people's thoughts.
