Questions about short tenure cuts both ways. The first couple of jobs I had were about 2 or 3 years. First company went broke, second company was some soul-crushing telecoms multinational and so I decided to quit and look for a new job. My interview was for a business analyst role with some fairly large gas company. Ended up interviewing with some senior exec/business person who absolutely fixated on the tenure of my previous two roles. Like 40 minutes worth of questions as to why I was "only" in my previous roles for a couple of years. If the interviewer was getting red flags, I most certainly was - so I turned it around and asked what the expected tenure for this role was, and the answer was 10 to 15 years before any promotion. That was it for me, emailed HR directly after the interview saying I wanted to withdraw from the process. Apparently, this got around and the boss of HR wanted to call me back in for a debrief. Didn't have the time, but I did email saying that questions about previous tenure were a major red flag for me. Didn't hear anything back after that, but I keep checking out the gas company's staff turnover on Glassdoor/LinkedIn and it seems like six months is closer to their expected tenure in that department.
