Lots of people stay in jobs they hate, often because of the fear of change and the value they place in long-term job stability. Career change is scary, but sometimes necessary. There are five critical signs, based on psychological research, that indicate you’d probably benefit from a career switch.
-One indication, especially for highly curious and creative people, is that you’re no longer learning in your job.
-Another sign is that you’re underperforming. If you’re on autopilot at work, you’re not engaged with your job, and you may be damaging your future employability.
-A third indication is feeling undervalued. Employees who don’t feel appreciated by their managers are more likely to burnout or to engage in absenteeism and sabotage.
-The next sign is that you’re just doing your job for the money. You can actually be demotivated by financial rewards because they extinguish intrinsic goals.
-Lastly, you should consider a career change if you hate your boss. Research shows that 75% of working adults find their supervisor to be the most stressful part of their job.
I literally checked every box for my accounts payable/receivable position I've been at for 2 years (no raises or reviews and no hope of promotion at a tiny company) so I started applying a month ago and I have received an offer (turned that one down because I want more money) and I expect another offer tomorrow which I'll be ecstatic to accept. Don't stay somewhere if you're miserable - I did for too long.
