Too millennial to leave in less than a year?
I started this job just 6 months ago. I have no problem with the role and my job, but massive problems with how the company treats their employees and I feel like we are constantly being lied to. Honestly, the lying feels like a boundary for me, and I'm working on my resume, but I worry I'm going to look like such a typical millennial if I dont stick it out for at least a year. Any hiring managers here have any input on how that looks when reviewing applicants?
If this is your first job I'd try to get to at least 9 or 10 months so you can truthfully answer "about a year" in interviews. If this isn't your first job and you have a history of staying a while (3 yrs looks good) then I'd worry less but it doesn't go to zero. Yeah the 40+ club will totally totally judge. But IDK if those are the types you want to work with? The guys I'm talking about are real old school. Source: reading feedback from my colleagues about people interviewing for our team.
It's not my first job, and I was at my last one for 4 years, so I appreciate this perspective.
Why only 40+ club will judge?I’m a hiring manager myself and don’t fall in this club nor judge. I look for the right fit for my team and want to hire someone who can stick around. From a hiring manager standpoint, my team and myself spend around 1-2 months and sometimes up to a quarter to find the right candidate, ramp them up for another quarter, they take another month to two to be productive at the same level as other them members. This whole process takes close to 6-8 mos based on the candidate and some external situations. Why would a hiring manager prefer someone who leaves after investing so much time(team and personal), effort and energy into ramping up ?
It will raise few questions - Why are you leaving after a short stint at the company ? Honestly speaking it takes around 6-9 mos on average to be productive at a certain level in a new company. As long as you can articulate in a way that the culture they advertised or spoke to in your interviews is not what you saw once you’re in. I don’t expect it to be 100% right but some of the cultural things I noticed are not in line with my values. They might ask you a specific example or a value that you don’t agree with etc. another follow up question what cultural values did you notice or hear for this new company ? Ask him internal working or how does it feel like working there or say you’ve a friend or someone who works and you validated the culture with them etc.
I’ve left a company after 6 months. It takes about that time to realize what’s really going on
Is it Amazon? ;)
No, it's an Atlanta software company. But are you saying that's how Amazon treats employees? Because I'm not looking to make this same mistake twice, lol ,
Wait. You’re being lied to at a company called OneTrust?
Welcome to the club. You will be lied to in all companies, to some extent. By all means switch jobs, doesn't hurt to get some experience around - it is something that you have to see for yourself to believe.
I know that there will always be some level of misleading in employee/employer situations, but this is a new level of that. Like I mentioned in an earlier comment, this isnt my first job, so it's not like I just have a utopian idea of the world.
It’s sad that it comes to how much dishonesty we will accept as a gauge of tolerance for an employer
Company loyalty is a two way street. GTFO
Run you fools
Def GTFO. ESP since you already have a track record of staying at jobs longer.
For one incident, it should not matter. But make sure you go to better place. Don't accept first offer/any offer just because you have to leave
