You don’t hate what you do, but you no longer feel happy or satisfied in your role. Here’s how to tell when it’s time to move on.
1 YOU’VE REACHED THE TOP – BUT YOU’RE NOT SATISFIED
So you’re finally where you want to be – at the top of your profession – yet, somehow, it doesn’t feel good. Julia Ng, a senior executive coach at Executive Coach International, says the way you feel about your management and role are clues that it’s time to move on.
“You may be a little depressed because you think ‘this is it’ and you can no longer see opportunities for the same kind of growth you experienced earlier in your career. Another reason: there may not be anymore opportunities to move up the ranks,” says Julia.
Other people may also wonder why you haven’t moved on from your current position. “They may ask why you’re still there or still doing that job, hinting that you deserve better and could probably go anywhere else you wanted,” Julia adds.
2 YOU FEEL THERE’S NO MORE ROOM TO GROW AT YOUR COMPANY
While you’re not exactly unhappy in your current role, you feel you’re doing less than what you’re capable of. A part of you yearns to achieve more and break through new barriers, but unfortunately, your company cannot broaden your job scope or promote you, or will not give you the chance to maximise your talents.
