How To Know When Its Time to Leave
I am writing this post on the eve of my 1 year anniversary of quitting my job. It is a statement that I have somewhat mixed feelings about. On one hand, I know that I did the right thing. On the other hand, I hated being forced into that position.
Unlike many entrepreneurs, I didn’t quit my job because I was burning to do my own thing. I quit because I knew that I wasn’t being valued and it was time to leave. It just happened to occur in a part of my career where I believe that I was reaching the goals that I had been working so hard for.
I caution others to learn and fight for their worth. So many times I have sat and talked with friends and family who are going through things at work. Not every situation is the same, but there is a difference between hard times and not being valued. Make sure that you know the difference and that you are willing to take the next step. Even though it wasn’t easy, I found that making that move off the beaten path was necessary.
Taking that small step lead me to where I am now. If I had hesitated, or relented, I may still be at that job spending my free time learning how to code in online tutorials. Knowing when it is your time. I could make all the difference.
If you need a little help making a decision, this might help
