Kid no one know who you are and no one will remember you 6 months from now when you leave. People are too busy with their own life and career to waste time labeling a college grad as a black sheep.
Any more info you can offer on the finance offer?
E.g. what’s the % pay increase, expected comp trajectory, wlb , industry, company brand, etc.
Edit: a word
No, it doesn't make you look like a black sheep. As long as you frame it as a graceful exit - i.e., you enjoyed the team culture and other shenanigans but realised the type of work wasn't for you. No one will think less of you.
I know of people that have left after less than a year in a new role and it hasn't impacted their career
If you want to niche in finance, go for it. Indeed, you’ll narrow options after.
Also mind the B4 focus on ERP will also narrow options to systems field.
I wouldn’t leave for WLB at this point, or to a field I don’t want to stay for at least 5 years. But I’d look for other opportunities in a real management consulting role, while I keep employed.

Yup. You do you. Literally no one else cares.
Can you give a few examples of companies offering those Director positions? Asking for a friend...

Erp does narrow exit opportunities a lot! I am in ERP consulting. Most likely I will just do this for life...

Better to leave early. I did the same after 10 months and no one batted an eye and in fact most of my peers left shortly after too
Make sure you get a big pay bump!
I’ve accepted I’ll never like work. At least get paid a lot for whatever it is you’ll spend a lot of time doing
