Should I quit my first job when I had just finished my appraisal for the probation period?

This is my first job as a fresh uni undergraduate. My probation ends this month and I had just went through the appraisal process; however, I have received an interview offer by an even better company with better job prospects. I'm conflicted now as I'm just settling in this company with decent colleagues. Work has been rather easy and filled with menial tasks, and I am bored at work (not challenged).

Will making a switch hurt my resume or future prospects? Thanks in advance for any advice :)

Dont think it would hurt. You could just say you didn't feel the previous job met your expectations during the probation period.

Just take the job, it's really okay. I did a similar thing few years back but it was at least half a year from the probation period.

Be ready to stay a bit longer in your next job , otherwise it will really hurt your image.

Based on what you mentioned there is better pay and prospects.
