What is too short of a time at a company that raises a red flag to recruiters? I’ve been at a company for 4 months and it is not a good fit.

If you start looking now, by the time you land something in this market it could be months. Unless you were thinking of quitting without anything lined up, which I’d advise against.

Depends on prior history and how you can explain leaving this time. It might prevent you getting screened, but if you do get a call back be ready to share why you’re leaving without bad mouthing

Do you have a history of job hopping? If not, you should be ok. I think short stints at companies is fairly common these days.

You should at least make it past 12 months. Many companies tie benefits to tenure — severance, PTO increases, 401k match vesting, annual bonuses, and other perks often kick in at the one-year mark. Check your company's policy before making a move. Also worth noting: many recruiters and hiring managers will discount any role under a year unless it was explicitly a contract or consulting engagement.

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?

Hey, another question for y’all. How should I reach out to a recruiter who offered me a full time position but I rejected for a better offer?

Now, a year later I have experience being in a role with limited over site (not as scary as I initially thought it would be) and feel confident I would excel in the role I rejected. How would you approach this situation? Thanks in advance!!

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
