A record number of people have voluntarily left their positions during the past two years. The reasons are myriad. Maybe it was time to retire. Maybe a better opportunity presented itself. Maybe an individual’s values changed, and they sought out an organization with which they were better aligned. If you’re considering making a change, there are a few signs that it might be time to move on. One of the biggest is if your organization is no longer encouraging your growth. If you’ve stagnated and no amount of job crafting will pull you out of the rut, it could be time to look elsewhere or, similarly, if you’ve achieved what you wanted to achieve in your current role. If you’re at the ceiling, it might be time to look for new challenges. It might also be time to leave if you find yourself dreading your work or actively avoiding your job. Procrastination isn’t uncommon, but if you’re not thriving in your role, you should look for a job you’re passionate about. It’s also time to go if your job is causing you to develop bad habits. If it’s common to be mistrustful or untruthful in your position, it’s likely not a good place to be. There are other signs, of course, but if you find yourself in one of these camps, it might be time to dust off the resume.
