If the second job is much better, just leave. In a 40 year career, I can’t imagine someone cares whether you waited 3 years to leave that first job.

Just be careful that it doesn’t become a habit. You can learn so much everywhere.

Hmmm the consensus is leave whenever.....

But what about for a H/S/W MBA - my current job isn’t interesting enough - so wanted to do a 6 month (current job), 2 year (elsewhere), 1.5 yea (elsewhere) stint before i do the MBA

You’ll still be young for the MBA, so no need to go back so quickly. If you have made a splash in your roles, that’s great. If you leave too soon each time, that makes your MBA case a bit tougher.

2 years min

I left after 8 months. The job sucked and had a better opportunity

Rule of thumb used to be two years, but that number varies nowadays. If you find something better for your career, you dont owe anyone anything where you're at now

Whenever you find a better opportunity jump ship.....
