How to Know When It's Time to Leave Your Job | Talent Guardian
Everyone has a bad Monday. That doesn't mean you need a new job.
But when Sunday-night dread becomes normal, it might be worth asking yourself some bigger questions.
You've stopped learning
If you've mastered the role and there's no obvious opportunity to develop, you may have outgrown it.
There's nowhere to progress
Not everybody wants promotion. But if you do and the opportunity simply isn't available, waiting indefinitely may not change anything.
Your values no longer align
Businesses change. Leadership changes. And sometimes a company that once felt right doesn't anymore.
You're consistently undervalued
This isn't purely about salary. Recognition, responsibility, development and trust all matter.
You're only staying because leaving feels scary
This one catches people. You've got colleagues you like. You know the systems. You know what you're doing. Starting again somewhere else feels risky.
Comfort can be a perfectly good reason to stay - provided you're still happy and developing.
You're curious about what's out there
You don't have to hate your job to explore the market. Sometimes a confidential conversation with a specialist recruiter simply helps you understand your value and the opportunities available.
You might decide to stay exactly where you are. Or you might discover something you didn't know existed.
You don't need to be running away from something to be ready to move towards something better.
