Four Surefire Signs That it’s Time for a Career Change

time for a career change

If you’re an ASSASSIN VIP, then you know that recently I made a career change on a whim. Now that my time is slowly coming to an end at my current company, I’m noticing signs that I should’ve left awhile ago. I didn’t hate my job or died inside every time I walked in the building, but there were other signs that it was time for me to leave. So here’s some of the things I noticed. . . and if you’re feeling the same, then it might be your time to move on as well!
 

You’re Bored

Man. . . I was so bored at my job because none of the tasks challenged me anymore. It was the same repetitive things everyday and possibly a fire to put out (which I’m skilled in too). So I’d go to work and fly through my tasks because I knew it all already! For some people, this is amazing and they love the repetitiveness of life. I personally, need to be challenged and using my brain! I can’t afford not to continuously build up my skills and abilities.
 

You Feel Stagnant

In the beginning, I had this entire plan that I’d work my way up through the company! Until one day that plan was drastically thrown out the window. I felt like there was little to no room for me to move on to another challenging position. Some people are cool with sticking it out and hoping to get that promotion. . . I’m not.

Lost of Interest & Excitement

I completely lost interest in the company’s mission and the thought of transitioning to a higher level position, didn’t excite me. This is so big because eventually I could’ve began to hate my job. Once you lose interest with what the company does, it’s time to figure out your passion and what makes you happy!
 

You Fantasize Working Elsewhere

In my weekly email, I mentioned how my top goal for this year was to quit my job and run my businesses full-time. There’s a lot to that story but to stay with the point. . . I saw myself working for me and no one else. It was (and still is) a goal of mine to not be sitting at a cubicle making someone else’s dreams a reality. Until my dream is a full reality, I know I’ll continue to fantasize about working for myself full-time!
 
These are a few of the signs that stood out for me! Some major signs would be if you don’t feel appreciated, have to work a lot of overtime, don’t get along with your coworkers, feel emotionally drained, no trust with your boss and just not caring about your job. I hope this was helpful and opens your eyes on whether it’s time for a career change! We all deserve to be happy at a place where we spend a majority of our time/lives. Remember to never settle and know that there’s a position perfect for you! Have you made a career change? Or considering one? Let me know in the comments and don’t forget to subscribe!
