Hello I'm Brian Cooke.
This is Note # 14 on Big Career Questions.
How do you know it is time to move on to a new role or different company?
Here are ten signs it may be time!
- It is becoming harder to get up and go to work every day with positive energy.
- You are doing the same work today that you were doing twelve months ago.
- You are spending too much time fixing yesterday’s problems and too little time designing tomorrow’s solutions.
- Your family and friends are concerned about your health, stress, and job satisfaction.
- Your company is struggling to retain key clients and win new work.
- Your boss takes your loyalty, production, and performance for granted.
- Your boss assigns the most interesting new work and high-profile projects to other people.
- Your compensation is falling behind market rates; your equity is becoming significantly diluted; or you are missing bonuses due to poor company-wide performance.
- Two or more colleagues you respect have left your firm and are prospering happily in new companies.
- Your skills and experience should be positioning you for bigger opportunities, but you feel boxed-in by the culture, leadership, and performance of your current business.
Is it time to move on to a new role or different company?
