It depends on why you're leaving/goals, but generally I'd say stick it out for at least a year so you can say you demonstrate success at that level. Personally, I think it's better to stay until you're an experienced manager so you have a better idea of options both internal and external, but I realize it's against conventional wisdom among those early in career. This is assuming your mental & physical health are not in jeopardy. If the environment is toxic, just get out.
