When To Cut Bait And Find A New Job

Wanting to make a job work is admirable… but sometimes, it's just not a good match

Wanting to make a job work is admirable: it represents a mature and an accountable mindset;
But sometimes, it's just not a good match.
You can put a wilting plant in a different pot, and it thrives!

Being your best at any company involves you getting clear on what they want from you, and aligning your attention and focus to delivering what they're looking for.

But over time, you change, and your organization changes. So when is it time to cut bait and just move on?

If you've tried in earnest to address feedback, delivered on your revenue goals, but you are not getting paid / continue to receive negative feedback, it might be time to move on!

In looking at new positions with fresh eyes, you have the opportunity to clearly evaluate what a company wants from you, and decide whether that's a good match for where you are skills wise in your career.

Frustration at your job does not mean you're failing. It might be a sign it's time to move on. And in a new role, if you carefully underwrite the new opportunity and find a great match, you may come back to life and grow tall into the sky.
