I have encountered many candidates that were looking out after a few months in a new role and most are due to mismatch in expectation of the role which I feel that this can be mitigated by deeper understanding of the role/company/reporting manager.

There are many ways to get to know a company better and having the assurance that the decision to move is well planned. Some tips to self-check before changing jobs:

1) What is your push factor e.g reason of looking out? Similarly, hiring managers/recruiters would ask you the same to further understand you and your situation better. Just make sure that you are not looking out because of the wrong reason e.g. looking out because everyone is doing so?

 
2) Did you get the role through a recruiter? If yes, check with them what you want to know better and don't be afraid asking "awkward/tough" questions that matters to you. This can help both you and the recruiter to get to know the company better if he/she does not have the answer yet.

3) Have you done your due diligence in finding out more about the company? Check with your peers/network within the same industry on what you prioritise in a job/career (e.g. great boss, culture, compensation, progression). For example, having an attractive compensation would be something you are looking for. Some of the questions you might want to ask would be... are the company X a good pay master? How are the perks/benefits of this company X? As it is subjective, this will differ person to person depending on what you prioritise.
