Gone is the era when people joined a company soon after graduating, and left on retirement. It was called loyalty back then. Today it is called stagnation. Experts say that it is better to switch to a new job when you feel that you are not learning anything new, and everything has become routine. So when should you look for a new job?
Your week begins with: Oh God!, I will have to face him/her at work again.
You feel unappreciated in spite of giving your best to the job.
You go through the week, looking forward to holidays and weekends.
Your employer is in serious trouble and is likely to hand out pink slips that will affect your position.
You have reached stagnation and there is no joy left in your work.
You receive no pay-hikes, while your colleagues do.
An insecure superior undermines you, and you know he/she will never quit.
The stress is taking a toll on your health and relationships.
There is no vertical mobility and no opportunities for growth.
If you find many of the above-described situations at work, it is time for change. On the other hand, if its just the pay-packet that bothers you, you should be asking for a better deal.
