When can I realistically switch jobs as a new grad?

I graduated in 2025 with my bachelors and I’ve been at my first job for around 8 months now as a MLE. I’m also going to start an online part time masters program this fall. I had to relocate from Bay Area to somewhere on the east coast (not nyc) for this job. Call us Californians weak but I haven’t been adjusting well to the climate, and I really miss my friends and the nature back home, among other reasons. That said, I’m really grateful I even have a job, let alone a MLE role. I’m learning a lot, but I feel that the culture of my company is deteriorating. The leadership is pushing for AI and the expectations are no longer reasonable. It’s getting more and more stressful here. Maybe I’m inefficient but I’ve been working overtime for quite a while now. The burn out coupled with being in a city that I don’t like are taking a toll on me. So, I’ve been applying on and off but I haven’t gotten any responses. There just aren’t that many MLE roles available for a bachelor’s new grad. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or it’s just because I haven’t hit the one year mark.
