How long do we have to give ourselves to know if we are good/suitable in a job?

I’m actually 7 months into my second job at age 24 and not sure if this is what I really want? My first job was a contract job and is totally unrelated to my current one. How much time do we need to give ourselves to gauge if we are actually suitable in this field? Every day, I still feel like there is stuff which I’m not sure and I’m starting to wonder is it because I’m not suited in this field? Would love to have some advice, thank you!

I honestly believe you have till 35 to figure it out. As long as during that time you keep searching instead of bumming around and you can be independent, keep finding that dream job.

I'm sure at 24 you probably have very little commitments if any, and probably don't have dependents or major liabilities.

Your career will take up more years than you have been alive, better make sure you enjoy it.

Build skills, make connections, broaden your horizons, and try not to turn down opportunities along the way.

I am 25 this year, and my freelancing job gives 5k spare cash per mth. I DCA 1.5k in STI ETF every month, and my cash is accumulating quite fast now I don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions?

How much time should we give ourselves as fresh grads to look for a job? I am worried that I will be unemployed for too long. Any advice?

Are job orientations supposed to be paid for 6 month contract jobs? My job orientation is 3 weeks Long and is not going to be paid?

Would like to know how many months on average do people find a job? Should i take up a job which does not pay much or wait for the right job with acceptable pay (to me)?

I know that not every job is perfect. How can 1 heal from 1 office job to starting another office job? i think i got work trauma
