Feeling stuck in your job? Even the most incredible companies like Facebook, Google, and Buzzfeed require hard work. But if you’re experiencing these signs, it might be time for a career change. Here are some symptoms that suggest it’s time to move on:
Here are some signs you need a career change:
- You Are Always Worn Out And Exhausted
If you are constantly stressed and worn out, have bags and dark circles under your eyes, and spend long hours (including weekends) on your job, you should check yourself. Your work is taking its toll. If you were once robust and full of life, only for friends and family to suddenly begin complaining about how you have become a shadow of yourself and have no social life whatsoever, you need to change jobs.
- You Don’t Care About The Salary Anymore
Some jobs pay well. But you need to change when you begin to feel like you don’t give a toss about the “huge” salary anymore. If you think deeply, it could be that the salary keeps you locked down. By the way, staying in a job JUST for the money might also be a sign you need to change. Unless it motivates you enough to keep delivering when you should.
- You Strongly Believe Your Talents And Abilities Should Be Used In A Different Way
If you are in a job where you ask yourself, “What am I doing here?” or tell yourself “, I’m supposed to be doing something more worthwhile”, etc, you need a career switch. If your talents and abilities are not suited for this job, search for another in which you will find fulfilment.
- You Dream Of A Different Career
Think deeply. Do you always scan through job boards daily while at work or home? Do you always look for opportunities to seek better jobs? Do you always dream and wonder what it would be like to work in a different firm (you even have a list handy)? Or do you desire to work from home, etc.? Then, you need to change careers. Go for what you want.
Also, if you don’t like telling people what you do, please switch. You aren’t proud of it.
- You Would Leave Right Now
If someone asked you, “Would you leave your job right now if you could?” and you answer “Yes,” then you probably need to change careers. Find out how you can leave and take steps towards it because, really, there is no point in staying back.
Do any of these apply to you? If yes, take that bold step and start looking for what makes you happy.
