<\/div>\n

We all know that feeling of nervous excitement on the first day of a new job. There\u2019s so much potential ahead of you: to grow, to learn, to be part of a workplace, to make new friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

But not every job is supposed to last forever, and some have a shorter timespan than others. In recent years, we saw what was called <\/span>the \u201cgreat resignation\u201d<\/span><\/a>, but sometimes you just get the sense that you\u2019ve done all you can in a role, and it\u2019s time to move on. So how can you tell if you\u2019re at that point? Here are some signs that can guide you.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Lack of excitement<\/span><\/h2>\n

No one bounds into their office like Tigger every day. But there should always be projects, teamwork and future goals in your role that get you excited. Maybe it\u2019s your work with one client in particular that keeps you motivated, or knowing you\u2019re part of a team working for a common purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n

When there\u2019s nothing in work you feel any excitement about, nothing in the future that lights a fire under you, and no potential work that you feel would be invigorating, then it\u2019s time to ask if you\u2019ve achieved all you can in your current role. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Feeling stagnant<\/span><\/h2>\n

Feeling stagnant, like there\u2019s just nothing left to learn in your role? This can be a sign you\u2019ve outgrown where you are. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like a plant, workers need to be nurtured. But if a plant\u2019s roots are bursting out of the pot, then it\u2019s time for them to move to somewhere bigger, which can give them space to grow. <\/span><\/p>\n

Otherwise, they won\u2019t keep growing and blossoming at the pace they once were. It\u2019s hard to leave a role where you\u2019re part of the team \u2014 but by changing things up, you\u2019ll learn a lot about yourself and your capabilities in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Challenge-free zone<\/span><\/h2>\n

The right role challenges you to a level you enjoy being challenged. For some, that means a high-pressure day\u2019s work fielding calls, requests and demands. For others, the challenge is minimal \u2014 but it\u2019s enough to help them know they\u2019re growing. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you can\u2019t find any challenges left in your working day (or week, month, or year) it can be a sign you\u2019ve outgrown where you are. Without challenges, your learning will slow down. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s scary to think of leaping into a brand new role, which will undoubtedly bring challenges by the bucketload early on, but you\u2019ll also be opening the door to discovering what you\u2019re made of.  <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Jealous of others<\/span><\/h2>\n

When a friend announces they have a new role, do you start to feel a bit jealous? Jealousy and envy can point us towards what we truly desire in our work lives, offering us the opportunity to daydream about trying something fresh. <\/span><\/p>\n

These emotions can also help when looking for new roles: which ones would you feel envious about if you knew someone else ultimately got them? Maybe that someone should be you.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. No room for progress<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019ve reached as far as you can literally go in your workplace, it\u2019s time to ask: do I want to progress further, and can I do that elsewhere? <\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not the CEO, you might find that there\u2019s no room for immediate progression \u2014 not unless your manager takes early retirement, or they create a new role for you. If neither of those is possible, your best bet for progression is to look further afield.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Feeling undervalued<\/span><\/h2>\n

You might enjoy your job, but do you feel your workplace values you? If you\u2019re starting to feel undervalued, or like your work just doesn\u2019t have impact, it may be because you\u2019ve outgrown where you are. <\/span><\/p>\n

Conversely, is it you who isn\u2019t invested in the job? If your investment is low, it could be time for someone with fresh ideas to step up, and for you to move somewhere new.<\/span><\/p>\n
