Building experience--quit after six months or tough it out?

[Gene Kim-Eng]

What's the coworker base and turnover rate like there?
I would expect that any service company that does that
bad a job of matching its capabilities and its workload
probably has pretty high turnover and not very many
people with a high level of experience, and is essentially
loaded with people who are there for the same reason
you are - to gain experience.  If you see a substantial
number of people leaving who started with the company
after you did, that's a big red flag that you've gotten the
experience you came for and it's time to think about
moving on.

I'd start looking now but not quit until I actually found
something.  Getting another offer is the most sure-fire
method I know of determining that you've added sufficient
experience to your record.
