Too soon to transition jobs?

I’ve been in my current role for four months, and I was recently contacted about a role with an organization that through and through mirrors a lot of values and work that I’m really passionate about, where my current company is … much more strictly about the bottom line. Which isn’t bad, and I know the reality is that’s business - but the role I’m in was meant to blend both bottom line and engaging, genuine connection.

My current role isn’t *bad*, but the scope is not quite what I anticipated, and I feel slightly guilty being that it was initially a role that I was excited for - until I actually started and realized that it didn’t measure up to the expectations I had and frankly were communicated to me by the hiring team. I feel like I could contribute to positive change for the organization, but it’s light years away as I’m told - and seeing for myself.

I spent two and a half years in my precious role, and two years in the role before that. I’d really aimed to best the 2/2.5 year mark with this company.

I’m still in the interviewing process for the new role, but would love the advice of the FGB network - is four months too soon to transition out of a role?
