The decent offers started coming in around 2.5 years and started to get compelling at 3. Ended up leaving at 3.5.

It will vary. I've seen junior consultants leave with great offers after 1 year. I thought mine was never going to come and it finally came after 6 years. As long as you're not coasting and focus on developing marketable skills, how long you've been there doesn't really matter.

Where do these offers come from? Do recruiters cold call you via LinkedIn?

Pretty much

Coming out of UG, I accepted my first job b/c I thought I had to based on status of other interviews. I ended up quitting after 8 weeks in favor of an opportunity I perceived to be better, but took longer to get. 7 months into the new gig, I am NOT happy. Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?
