IB Analyst for onl 1 year?

So I was looking through Linkedin and saw a few kids you did a one year gig in IB and moved onto another role like PE, VC, corporate development, HF etc. When I say 1 year i mean 12months.

I know this is a little uncommon but has an anyone seen/experienced doing this? I've seen people doing 1.5 years and bounce to buy side or other legit exit opp.

How does hat look to potential employers?

I know a guy who works at a top-notch L/S fund who got poached before his first year was up-I doubt most of those people left without a job lined up.

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
