Tier 2/3 to Tier 1 move after 8 months - Too soon?

Currently I am at a Tier 2/3 Corporate Bank (think HSBC/Stan.Chart). An opportunity (online app) just opened up at a tier 1 bank (JPM, Citi, BoA) for an analyst role - Is it too soon to try and move? Is it too soon to try and make a move or would it be better to wait out 2 years?

On a separate note would anyone have a rough idea of the hours worked in corporate banking in the top firms?
