When To Quit Your Job

Even if you’re gainfully employed, sometimes it is in your best interest to move on. If you’re exhibiting any of these four characteristics, it may be quitting time. 1. You aren’t happy. If going to work fills you with dread, it’s time to jump ship. Things will only continue down the same path of drudgery if nothing changes. 2. You clash with the company culture. Over time you may find that you no longer align with the company’s mission. Likewise, if you don’t get along with your boss or co-workers, then it’s time to find a place that is a better fit. 3. You don’t feel challenged. A good job should allow you to learn and refine skills over time, but if you’ve hit the wall when it comes to creativity and educational opportunities, see if there are other places that allow and encourage you to continue developing your skillset. 4. Your company is failing. If all signs point to your employer’s demise, don’t stick around. Start looking for a new job today; indeed.com and monster.com are two popular job search databases.
