It's been 4 months now and although I'm quite satisfied with the exposure and learning curve, I'm very dissatisfied with the pay. It honestly isn't even enough to cover rent + household expenses + daily court travel expenses. My previous savings are being depleted so I'm thinking of switching now.
I'd like to stay here for the litigation exposure but I don't like living like a miser who has to think thrice before spending money when I'm with friends.
Would it look bad on my CV & during interviews if I quit my current job just 4 months in? Should I apply to Dispute Resolution teams of smaller firms?
