How do you know when it’s really time to leave? Spot the signs that indicate you should think about making a move…

YOU’RE WAITING FOR ‘DEAD MAN’S SHOES’

When there’s no way to get promoted without the person above you going off sick, dying or retiring.

YOU’RE FEELING UNDER-VALUED

The company recruits externally for a similar role to yours and offers more money. Crucially, you give the business a chance to put this right – but they don’t.

THERE’S A NEGATIVE COMPANY CULTURE

You are bullied or belittled. Collect evidence and challenge; but don’t let it happen again.

YOU’RE NO LONGER LEARNING

There’s no time to dedicate to growth and development, and no prospect of that changing.

YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A NEW CAREER PATH

You want to apply your skills in a different sector, or a different way altogether.
