Question about someone looking to switch jobs after less than a year: will leaving after 8-10 months create the perception of a “job hopper”? The change is motivated by 1. Unhappy with current role/lack of future growth; 2. Geographic location with family considerations.
For my background, I graduated in 2020, played 1 year of pro sports in Europe, followed by a 10 month fellowship at a private equity company in Hong Kong and I now work for a large Asian bank in Hong Kong. I only started my current role 3 months ago but am not enjoying it and feel like I am strongly inhibited by my lack of local language skills. MBB/Tier 2 has been my career goal for since graduating but I was convinced by others to stay in financial services in Asia due to ‘better career opportunities’ (feel very differently now). Long story short, how long should I wait before applying for other roles back in North America?
