Should I change jobs?
A new job can improve pay, growth or quality of life, but switching also introduces uncertainty. Compare what you are moving toward with what you are trying to escape.
Identify the real problem
Separate temporary frustration from a persistent issue with your manager, workload, culture, progression, commute or compensation.
Compare the whole offer
- Total compensation, not just salary
- Learning and promotion potential
- Hours, flexibility and commute
- Manager, team and working environment
- Job security and probation risk
Test staying as a real option
Consider whether a raise, role change, boundary, training plan or internal move could solve the problem without changing employers.
