What was your first job out of college

Engineering Technician here for 4 months and I want to kms every day. How badly would it fuck up my ability to get another job if I quit before a year here?

not that badly if you can quickly find one, ideally before you leave your current one.

I literally have a 1.25gpa at community college right now.

Contractor for a fiber company (mechanical engineer) just did GIS stuff for 17/hr. Now I'm a fiber engineer here, make 55k and some bonuses. It's ok, not sure if my heart is in it but it keeps me on my toes vs what I was doing.

Not at all if you get another job while you're still employed.

Ding ding ding. Don't quit your job to look for a other job. You'll regret it. You should also maybe learn to enjoy life more outside of work if possible, it makes the days not as bad

Technical consultant. Making great money, near full autonomy, experience worth it's weight in gold.

Life's good.

currently working at an MSP right out of college (pretty much tech support but we have a closer relationship to companies), pay is measly $2680 CAD/Month before taxes. but the company is really small and I have a good chance of becoming part of the "board" (like 2 people), not huge profits but the company pulls in big easy profits from various software licenses and basic profit margins on computer systems
