How long do you think it makes sense to stay at a company you don’t get the right vibe with from the beginning to give them a fair shake?

Yeah I would give it a year too. Have you already been there for a while? I do think things can turn around but at the same time, I've never had my mind DRASTICALLY changed over the course of a year, but certain things have become more clear/obvious to me after that time.

I think the conventional wisdom has always been to stick around for a year just to make it look legit on your work history. And, in fairness, in the course of a year you might realize that the place isn't the disaster you feared. But usually one's instincts will be correct, and if you think some place isn't for you, it most likely isn't.

no timeline, if you are unhappy leave.

A year.

I had one job when I started working at a start-up where I knew 1 month in, this is not for me. I did stay for 18 months but once I hit a year - I decided it was time to look elsewhere but I did so strategically as we were looking at relocating anyway.

I think it takes a year to really understand a company, the dynamics, your role, and possible ways to change roles (if there is a better fit with another department). That being said, if you have too many situations where you haven't been with a company longer than 2 years, it's a red flag for hiring teams. There is not a single job where everything will be "perfect" so you need to understand what is important to you and what you can work with.
