I always say at least 1 year to get adjusted, to learn the role, to learn the people. It takes time for a change, for growth, and for all of that to happen. If it's a horrible place to work and illegal stuff is going on then jump ship. But otherwise give yourself some time. Good luck.
Good advice. I think a year is a good yard stick.
For further context in the two examples above 1 job I wasn’t comfortable with the way they asked me to move expenses and the other one I was lied to by the owner as to the cash position of the business and the staff I could hire and he completely broke my trust.
My general rule of thumb is to stick it out for at least a year. I've actually found that in doing this, sometimes things turned out better than I anticipated they would, and I ended up staying longer. If it's truly toxic and you simply cannot stomach staying another 9 months, then do what's best for your mental wellbeing and professional growth. As M1 said, just don't make a habit of it and you should be fine. Good luck!
Depends what your résumé looks like. If you’ve done that a few times consecutively it looks bad but if you did it once or twice and can speak to it while in an interview it’s fine.
I have a few 2-3 year jobs I left for better opportunities then a six month which was bad environment then a 3 1/2 year then a six month bad environment and now 4 plus. Don’t really have to talk about short stints either.
Leave. I stayed in my last job just shy of 6 months because was unhappy. If it feels like you are not on the path that you want to be working towards then in reality you need to do what’s best for you. I found a new role that it is a much better fit and salary. There is light at the end of the tunnel
What kind of work did you transition to,?
Leave imo careers are long no point suffering if you can find a better fit and stay there longer
When you say it’s not the type of work you were expecting, what do you mean? Is what you’re doing significantly different from what you were told (e.g., You were told you’d be involved in financial planning, but instead you are cold calling or filling paperwork)? What conversations have you had with your managers?
If you feel you were deceived or otherwise misled about the job, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave once I’ve found another. If you can provide a prospective employer with a rational, mature, and professional answer for why you left so quickly, it shouldn’t harm your chances.
Sounds like me, fellow analyst
You've just been there for a short three months period. Personally I would suggest that you give the job a chance. You might still be in the adjustment period and all you need is a little more time to get accustomed to the job.
I'm debating this...tbh I left a role after like 6 months because I hated it and couldn't see a great path for myself. Now I think at least a year if it's like a normalish role...but am starting to wonder whether it ACTUALLY matters when the job market is so crazy
I always tell myself to stay in a job for at least a year or two. You're relatively new so I'm believe you're still adjusting. Give yourself time and room to adjust. Stick it out until you reach 1 year and then decide if you really want to go.
It wouldn't look too good on your resume for when you start applying if the recruiter sees anything shorter than 12 months. Just tough it out for a year before you begin your search. What is it about it that you don't like?
