18 months. Had to quit due to a bad manager. Took 18 months because of the 3 month notice period.
Have it on my resume because of the company brand name.

My shortest stint was a passion project I did in a traditional company. It was 2-3 months only, I wanted to really do it for personal reasons.

I wear it as a badge of honor on my CV, although it is often confusing to people why I did it 😂

8 months. Bad work culture, took a break(extended to 3 months) without a job Took a toll as with 7.5 yrs experience lots of questions were asked about the break

PS: All this happened last year

7 months as head of sales. And then 6 months doing own startup- definitely had a negative impact. Convincing people that I took two risks with someone else startup and then mine- both didn’t turn out well.

Is my career ruined? 😰

Hey folks,

Having 3.3 YOE. In one of my past stints I left a company in 2 months due to toxic work culture and joined a better company.

I am a junior product manager. Will this short stint create problems for further opportunities...
