> Many companies do PIPs (performance improvement plans) Isn't this a first signal when one should start looking for a new job asap?

  Not necessarily. As a manager if you have an employee who you believe is basically a good fit but has a performance issue you would really rather they turn this around than have to hire again. Particularly with junior people this can often work well. I realize that some organizations often use PIPs for legal converage reasons and in that case it may be a foregone conclusion.

    But you don't know which is that case when its assigned to you.

      If you know your company and/or your manager you have at the very least strong hints.

        I disagree - the impetus for it may come from outside anyone you know.

  Yes.
