Does it look bad if you move from your first job to a second job after only 5 or 6 months?

What’s the minimum amount of time you should spend at your first job? I have been given the offer to try something new and different but given that it has been only 6 months since I started, me jumping into another opportunity may raise red flags for future companies who may question my loyalty

No, but suing your employer for being attacked during your commute sure would be a red flag.
