There is no fixed time you must stay in your first job. For most people, staying around 1 to 2 years can be a good start if you are learning, gaining experience, and being treated fairly.
You do not need to stay just to make your resume look good. If the job is harming your well-being, has no growth, or is a bad fit, it can make sense to leave earlier. What matters most is what you learned and what you can show from the experience.
