Stability is a good quality when it comes to your career and
it’s always good to know you have a job waiting for you on a Monday morning.
However, the grass sometimes seems greener at the other company and when you’ve
grown stale in your job, you might consider the allure of going elsewhere.
Before leaving your long-standing job consider the following
factors:
Colleagues. There are workplaces where the people you
work with are one of the best perks of the job. If you work with a close and
supportive team you might think twice before starting over in a new workplace.
Opportunity. Do you have opportunities for
advancement in your current job or have you reached a plateau? You might want
to have a conversation with your supervisor about your career plans and goals
before making the decision to leave. Things can change rapidly in business and
sometimes opportunities open up that you did not expect or seek.
Restructuring. It can be extremely stressful to go to
work if your company has had a series of layoffs or has been restructuring
departments. However, moving to a new company doesn’t necessarily reduce the
risks of a layoff and you might even feel more at risk if you’re the new person
on the job. Consider whether you’re ready to give up the seniority you’ve
earned from the time you’ve put in at your current job.
