Where I live there is almost always 30-180 days probation period and then the contract turns into permanent. Usually not a big deal.

Leaving a fulltime position becomes a gamble.

[ReptileMan]

Usually during this period you can also leave at will. I think it is in law that the contract should be symmetrical for both sides. The system seems to be working ok-ish.

And that is why you actually need a decent reason to leave. Be it money, seemingly better culture or more interesting work.

It's always a gamble to some degree.

Not when you are not working.
