If you were to talk about your job, how do you feel about the subject? Do you feel pride and passion or are you deflated by the topic to the point that you avoid it altogether?

Despite the fact that you may not even be aware of it, if you find that any of the below are applicable to you, maybe it’s time to begin your new job search.

Every Monday Morning You Dread

The truth is that many people experience a twinge of regret when they are travelling to work at the beginning of the week; reminiscing about the lie-ins, social activities, and relaxation they had over the weekend. There is likely something deeper going on with you than simply wanting to stay in bed on Monday mornings if you often find that Monday mornings always plague your weekends.

You Take Sick Days Or Holidays Without Reason

Would you consider taking off a day of vacation or even pulling a sickie just to avoid going into the office? If you’re feeling long-term resentment toward your job, this will only be a quick fix.

You Feel Envious Of Others

Is it true that you sometimes feel jealous or that they work in better places than you when you discuss work with people outside of your organization? Even when you’re suited to a role, if the company isn’t right for you, you might wish you were somewhere else.

You Have Stopped Caring

Do you lack passion and drive? Stopping to be productive doesn’t benefit you or your team. You risk getting a rap from management if you don’t pull your weight and aren’t pulling your weight for the department.

Is Your Job Too Easy, Or Too Difficult?

When you’re in the same job for a long time and haven’t been given new responsibilities or promotions, you may get bored. You may have already brought up your concerns in appraisals, but there’s no clear progression path available to you. If that’s the case, it’s time for a new challenge. Similarly, if you’re struggling with work and don’t have the necessary support, you might be better off in an organization that can provide you with additional training and resources.

You’re Underpaid 

If your salary differs from everyone else in your field, don’t worry. Salaries vary by location and sector. Nevertheless, benchmarking yourself and calculating average salaries are possible. If you are working in Biotech, for example, there can be numerous didn’t job roles, but if you are massively underpaid you should consider searching Biotech recruitment. 

There Is A Rift Between You And Your Colleagues

You don’t have to get along with everyone, but if you disagree with people constantly, it can get tiring. Even though your values may differ, finding a place to work with like-minded people will make you happier at work.

These are all signs that you may need to look for a new job. Are there any other signs that you think should be included on the list? Please share some of them in the comments below.
