Is It Time to Leave Your Job?

If you see these warning signs, maybe it’s time to quit.

In a bad economy, it might seem strange to consider quitting your job. However, sometimes resigning is the best way for you to move forward. Here are some signs that may point you toward the exit door:

1.     Your work environment is not healthy.

Stress is part of any job. But sometimes the frustrations of your job can begin to harm you. They can make you sick or depressed. If you hate going to work, it’s time to leave.

2.     You need more income.

Maybe you thought the salary was OK when you took the job. However, now you need more income to support your family because of different life circumstances. Or maybe you feel that you’re not making what you’re worth.

3.     You are not being challenged.

You have been in your position for a while, and your skills have improved. Now the work you’re doing no longer seems interesting. Maybe you can get more responsibility at a different job.
