I think traditionally a year, but I've worked places for 6 months, finished off strong, and still keep in touch with my old crew and get hit up by them for freelance.

It's more abojt the impression you make. I'd rather have an employee do well for 8 months and leave for a too good to pass up gig than an employee who skates by for 2 years.

Could be a week could be a month, in the end you are replaceable and the sooner you tell them its not working for you the better. Courage is speaking from the heart.

100% whatever works for you. If you speak from the heart and they don’t get it, why would you care for that bridge. There are so many bridges out there.

1 year from an outsider perspective (the folks looking to hire you) but probably less from the inside.

My partner left after 5 months and we are all still cool with her. Big raise and title bump.

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
