Do you even like your job? Signs it might be time to quit...


If you’re on the fence about quitting your job and moving on, there are some telltale signs to look for...

Leonard Schlesinger, author of “Just Start,” has some questions you need to ask yourself about your current job and your future:

• Do you keep promising yourself you’ll quit - but don’t? This is a big red flag and indicates you’re not where you should be. 

• Would you want your boss’ job? If not, that could be a problem. Lack of ambition or desire to move up is another hint that you’re in the wrong place. 

• What are your chances of success? If office politics, impossible tasks or lack of ability are an issue, you should really reconsider your future before further damage is done to your professional reputation.

If you do decide it’s time to move on, be sure you have something to move toward. No matter how happy you are to leave your job, do NOT burn bridges. It’s important to take the high road and leave with dignity and professional poise, especially if you’ll be staying within the industry.
