Comments on: 10 Signs It’s Time For a New Job http://cashmoneylife.com/career-planning-change-new-job/ Money Management, Small Business, Career Wed, 23 May 2012 14:30:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Ryan http://cashmoneylife.com/career-planning-change-new-job/#comment-4874 Ryan Tue, 29 Jan 2008 21:42:12 +0000 http://cashmoneylife.com/2008/01/15/career-planning-change-new-job/#comment-4874 Gail, you are welcome to comment on any article on this site at any time! You bring up a great point - bad management is a big factor in determining whether or not to stick around longer. I guess I built this list based on my current personal and professional situation. Being appreciated is another thing to consider. Everyone wants to know how they are performing and that their coworkers and managers want them around. To be honest, it would be very easy to make this list twenty items long. In the end, different things have different value to each person. For some it's money, others respect and recognition, and for some like me - it is opportunity. Because I know the more opportunity I have now, the more I can grow my career. I look at it somewhat like compound interest in that respect. The better I do early on, the longer I have to grow and progress. Thanks for the comment. :) Gail, you are welcome to comment on any article on this site at any time!

What if you have a boss who is a screamer? I guess I would want to add a question like, "Are you properly appreciated at your job?" to address this because one could answer each of these questions positively, yet still not feel appreciated enough by the boss.

I don't have a problem working for my current employer, but my current job has stagnated. I am currently evaluating my options. I hope things pick up for you! :) Bernard, I feel the same way right now. I don’t have a problem working for my current employer, but my current job has stagnated.

However, I am also having 2 hearts about moving on. It is always a sense of uncertain if we move on to another job, will it be better? I guess I might have to wait till the push factor of the current job getting higher, forcing me to take a choice. Yep, I have the feeling of dreading to go to work too recently.

The new life we have (M-F, 8-5) made everything worth it. And I understand what you are going through as well. I went to night school while I was on Active Duty, and even took on-line courses while deployed. My mission was to finish my degree so I could have more options when I separated from the military. The short term sacrifice was well worth it. I wish the best of luck to you and your family! :) Katie,

But, I also think you can be happy and not be in the best job for you. I think it is important to reevaluate your role often and determine if you are reaching your potential. These other questions may help you find something better for you and your situation. Or, they may reaffirm that your current job is the best for you at that time. Best Advice,

But I do try and keep the ratio of work hours to other hours at an even keel. I'm also in school, so I have to ensure that gets its proper attention as well (plus all those other things one is supposed to do!). If only I could convince BF to do the same... But he loves his job and is ok with it being like that. Endless source of frustration between us. :) I’m not sure I could do the 9-5 M-F, simply because I love to flex-time… But I do try and keep the ratio of work hours to other hours at an even keel.

In the last year, I have gone back and reviewed the list to second guess my own judgement, but the answers stayed the same. Now, I am working a job that does take me away from my family, a second job which does not take away from family time because it is when they are in school, and going to school full time. But the difference to me is that this is SHORT term while I improve my skill set. I do not envision myself doing my two jobs for the rest of my life. I am exicited about the 9-5 (or even 7-5) M-F job aspect and every weekend off! This list is why I decided to end my military career.
