How do you when it time to leave your current job?
355382
When you no longer challenged or learning, or there is some other issue that outweighs the benefits of your job.\n\nThe first thing I would try is making changes with-in my current job, that will make it more fulfilling.  If making changes, like volunteering for new and challenging tasks, does not improve your outlook about your position it is time to move on.\n\nUnless your sanity is at stake or you have a large amount of savings, you should have something lined up when you leave your job.

Make a list of the pros and cons.  Could you find a similar flexibility with another job?  It never hurts to look for a job, but I wouldn't quit until you have a better situation lined up.

Get focused.  Write down your goals and acheive them, get on the fast track to better position within the organization (let people know about your intentions).  Make a plan for success.  Talk to your supervisor or boss and ask them to challenge you more.  If you enjoyed what you do a year or so ago there is no reason why you shouldn't still enjoy it.  If you are well paid and you like your co-workers and you are able to build long term savings don't sweat it.  Enjoy it while it lasts.  \n\nIf you are still unhappy after all of this start a job search and read "What Color is My Parachute"

Bosses can be a real pain.  I have one that meets every qualification of a "Bad Boss".\n\nI'm dealing with it for now, and just putting up with him.  My job and the company aren't bad.  \n\nTypically it's good to stay at a place for at least 2 years.  It looks like you're more stable. \n\nA good indicator of when you need to leave a job is if you dread going into work on Monday, when it's only Friday night.\n\nIt's not worth your health.  Besides, the economy is better now, so I'm sure there's more jobs out there...

1) if you are going to leave do not leave without having another job lined up. Nothing worse then being unemployed in a horrible job market. \n\n2) If you have a better job lined up, ask your boss about the raise and the promises at a convenient but not in public time. Do not cause a big scene and storm out or anything silly like that, as you probably  know. You never know who you might need a reference from in the future, or for that matter may be asking for a job from 5-10 years down the road.

First of all are you really ready for a change? And is money the only factor you look for in an employment opportunity.\n\nAlso, think about this: Would you truly be satisfied if you made more money?\n\nYou should really think long and hard about what you want to accomplish on a new job before you leave your present one.\n\nWhen you figure out the answers to these questions you are ready to make a change......

Start shopping the job market, and I don't mean sit on the computer. Get out and go door to door. Companies like to see what type of person you are and how well you handle yourself. See what is out there. See if you get some job offers. If they look good, then I'd use that as leverage in your current job to advance or get a pay raise. If they aren't willing to do it, then go to the new job. Don't waste your time in a company that isn't going anywhere, or is not willing to treat their people well, when that is time you could be investing in an up and coming company with a better atmosphere, and promotion potential.

Experts say following reasons are good enough to leave the job and take a plunge in the job market:\n1. High anxiety---job (boss, colleagues, company, work) is causing you high anxiety and you feel out of control\n2. It is beginning to look like you have been demoted without a change in title (called "marginalizing" or "sidelining" someone)\n\nNote: in these cases, try switching jobs internally before quitting\n\n3. Company is in trouble and is offering a package and threatening to pull it if you don't accept\n4. Company has suffered severe reputational damage and hanging on is only going to taint you, and may involve you in litigation\n5.You have an offer and it is near perfect (at least 8 of 10 things you want)

You need to answer this one for yourself.\nAsk yourself: Will more money make me happier than I am now - happy enough to change jobs?  Can I stand to do the other job for the rest of my career?  Can I survive and be content with the money from my current job?

i've had three different jobs in three different fields within a 2 year period. best thing I can tell you is if you're switching jobs in the same field, make your peace with former co-workers you LIKE and don't burn bridges. keep it professional and maybe a little goign away party might be in the works for you. if you're switching jobs and fields, expect less. don't go into it expecting you'll be running full speed straight out the gates. ease into it and take it day by day. once things pick up you'll be back to normal. and whatever you do, don't get all teary eyed when saying goodbye to people, even if you've known them forever. It just leaves a bad lasting impression.

That's a tough call.  It's easy not to leave a job when you feel safe....\n\nAt your current job there's a chance things may change, people may leave, opportunities may arise...seems like workplaces are ever evolving...\n\nHowever, that's a maybe, and how much more time do you want to spend being less than satisfied?  \n\nDoes this new place offer health insurance?\n\nIf you go for it, you may really love it!!!  Or, not...  However, there are more jobs out there if things don't work out at the new place.  If you leave on good terms, your old place may even take you back.\n\nI think they recommend to have about 6 mos of savings for living expenses in the bank while your changing careers....just in case.\n\nLife is so short.  Work sucks most of the time!!!  At least it would be something new, right?  \n\nIt comes down to how risk adverse you are, I suppose.  Is the uncertainty going to cause you a great deal of stress?  If so, you may be happier staying put.\n\n\nGood Luck to you!!!

It depends what you want from a job. If you don't mind putting in extra hours and really need the money, then go for the other job. However, if you really like your current job and are happy there, think hard before you make a decision because there's no guarantee that you'll like your new job and it always bites to leave somewhere where you had it good.

Take your vacation and then leave.\n\nYour employer sucks.
