How soon is too soon to find another job? I’ve been here 2 months and hate it. But it’s my first AD job... how long should I stick around?

Until you find something better. Then quietly remove this hated job from your resume. But you’d better have a good reason to tell the next interviewer why you’re leaving after 2 months. Why do you hate it? It may not Be different at the next place.

At least 18 months, then at least you can go freelance and give yourself a promotion to mid-weight

Simple answer. Can you afford to leave? If yes. You have no commitment and get out there. Your happiness is more important. If you can’t afford it, tough it out and work hard trying to make the best of it and quietly look for other opportunities on the side.

I would say look for a new job but be prepared to stay for 6 months to a year. Do your best in the mean time, as any job you get will definitely be lateral. And like the other commenter said, have your reason for leaving early prepared, whatever it is.
