We all know that feeling of nervous excitement on the first day of a new job.
But not every job is supposed to last forever, and some have a shorter timespan than others.
So how can you tell if youre at that point?
Here are some signs that can guide you.
Lack of excitement
No one bounds into their office like Tigger every day.
But there should always be projects, teamwork and future goals in your role that get you excited.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Feeling stagnant, like theres just nothing left to learn in your role?
This can be a sign youve outgrown where you are.
Like a plant, workers need to be nurtured.
Otherwise, they wont keep growing and blossoming at the pace they once were.
Challenge-free zone
The right role challenges you to a level you enjoy being challenged.
For some, that means a high-pressure days work fielding calls, requests and demands.
For others, the challenge is minimal but its enough to help them know theyre growing.
Without challenges, your learning will slow down.
Maybe that someone should be you.
If neither of those is possible, your best bet for progression is to look further afield.
Feeling undervalued
You might enjoy your job, but do you feel your workplace values you?
Conversely, is it you who isnt invested in the job?
Thinking you might have outgrown your workplace?
