Thanks for sharing the video! I recently accepted a stepping stone role after being unemployed for over a year following a mass layoff. I asked ChatGPT about the minimum time I should stay before looking/leaving for more desirable roles or organizations, and it suggested staying at least 6 months, ideally 1 year, to avoid being labeled as a job hopper and draw red flags. I know this video emphasizes the importance of impact/accomplishments over duration, which makes sense, but I’m curious-do you have any thoughts on these baselines (6 months, 1 year, etc.) as the absolute minimum? I'd love to hear your take on balancing impact with tenure.
Sorry for the delayed reply, been traveling. I honestly don't think there's a minimum, if there's a good reason. If you get into a really lousy situation and realize it within weeks, there's nothing wrong with leaving asap. Just make sure you have a good, short, reason why it didn't work out. "I was shocked to discover a manager who was hostile and a culture that matched. For my own sanity, I left promptly." That's fine. That said, if you just left for $$ or you didn't stay long enough to accomplish anything, that's not great. You should have known the former, and should have at least stayed long enough to get something done. Hope this helps.
