Takes me X months to discover where X is when I realise I don't like it. X is usually between 6 and 48. When X is nearer 6 it was a bad move. When X is closer to 48 it is because sands shifted. I never had a visceral reaction that I have been in a perfect job. But I know good from shit. Usually shit coincides with company is struggling to find PMF to fund growth through revenue. Also can mean company is sold to another company.
This right here is my exact take too.
Interestingly my current job I'm at the 48 month mark and sands definitely shifted after new management stepped in and slowly but surely gutted the culture, though I actually thought I wanted to leave almost immediately when I joined. It took me a little bit of adjusting initially to come to like the company at first, but it's been the longest place I've stayed since far.
