I agree, but a year&#x27;s a bit tight. You may want to give yourself an option of another 6-12 months, if your job is still rotating through things and changing enough that you&#x27;re not pigeonholed yet. I&#x27;m not sure I could put into words why, but I&#x27;d look much more favorably on two years rather than one if I was looking at your future resume.<p>Flip side, I&#x27;d also add an option at months three and six to ask myself whether I should just get out now and basically just not put it on my resume in the future. Interesting tech is interesting, but if the startup has pathological personnel or psychological problems, a year may be too long. I would suggest sticking out anything other than outright abuse for at least 3 months, though, since you do want to account for the fact that, ahem, a real job is not school and there are certain different expectations, regardless of where you work.
