is it time find a new job?

Deciding whether to stay or leave a current company is an important decision that is best taken mindfully.

Completing an annual review of your current job is something I recommend to ensure that you're still doing work that aligns with what YOU want in the future.

It's a great opportunity to get really clear so you can evaluate if your current job matches your long-term goals and make an informed decision from there.

Think (or journal) on the following:

• What are your strengths and which do you want to develop?

• What skills / activities drain you?

• If you were to dream big, what would your ultimate career goal be? Include all the juicy details.

After you have a clear list of what your long-term goals are: take that big dream and see how it compares to your current role.

• Do you feel supported and have clear direction for growth at your current company?

• Does this job seem like a natural stepping stone to your ultimate long-term goals?

• Are you making enough money to support your lifestyle? If not, does your current salary leave you feeling resentful?

• Are you dreading going back to the office post-pandemic?

If your current role matches the list (or has a lot of potential) then it might be a good idea to stay. If not, it’s probably time to go.

Friend, what did you discover in this exercise?

I'm rooting for you!
