6 Signs It is Time to Change Careers

Many people start their career journeys early in life. As we learn more about ourselves and grow in our lives, we may find that we’ve outgrown our careers. That’s ok. Below you’ll find six key signs that it is time to change your career.

Signs It is Time to Change Careers

Expectations have increased, while your pay has not

Often, if you’ve been with your company for a while, it becomes easy to accept more responsibility. Over time, you may realize your level of responsibility has grown tremendously, but your pay has not. While your pay should not be everything when evaluating your employment, it is important to be fairly compensated for what is expected of you.

You do not feel valued

Often feeling unappreciated can stem from a company overlooking you for a promotion, failure to re-evaluate your compensation, or simply overworking you. Regardless of the reason, feeling undervalued can quickly lead to burnout. If your company is not willing to make the necessary changes to reflect your value, it may be time to look elsewhere.

Your interests and passions have changed

Sometimes the desire for change does not come from the work, it may be coming from you. We may find our interests shift over time, and this is normal. What we once loved, may no longer be something we find passion in. If this is the case, it is alright to consider a career change to find your new passion.

You are not fulfilled in your work

At Codeup we believe you should love your Mondays, and if work no longer excites you, and you dread going to work, you may be lacking fulfillment in your career.

There is no room for advancement

No one wants to remain stagnant. If progression in your career seems unlikely, you may want to have a conversation with someone on your leadership team to discuss growth potential. If there is no room for advancement in your current company it may be time for a career change.

You have a toxic boss or work environment

Toxicity in the workplace is highly unacceptable. If your work environment or superiors exhibit toxic behavior you should consider a change before those actions begin to affect your mental health.Career changes can be scary.
