Thinking about leaving my job--advice?

[IUHoosiergirl88]

It was definitely my plan to stay at my current firm for awhile, and I'm still not 100% sure I want to leave the firm. I'm going to try to switch projects first, so I can at least stay with the same company, however our PMOs haven't been letting people leave.

Ideally, I want to climb the corporate ladder on either the contracting or the government side. It's my ultimate goal to be a PDB-er or a Congressional briefer one day. It really upsets me that I'm even thinking about leaving so soon.

Thanks for all of your advice everyone! This is a tough situation that I was really not anticipating having to deal with at my first 'real' job.
