It takes me about a month to know for sure. If the job isn't right for me, it takes me a few more months before I consciously decide that there is no way to make the job right for me.

It takes me between 1 ~ 2 months, for me to have a very good feeling...then the next handful of months to validate those feelings. In my 30 year work history, i have had only 1 job where i got it wrong..and EVERY single other job through my entire career, all it took was between 1 ~ 2 months to get a feeling if the place is good or not, if the role is right or not, etc. Then again, all except for 1 role, my entire career has been at medium or large corporations...so i'm sure corporate America has enough similarities in so many areas to enable this "early warning system". ;-)
