How do you know when it’s time
to leave your current company and
move on?
Edmond Lau, Quora Engineer
A number of red flags should cause you to reconsider your
position at your current company, including:
• being compensated unfairly.
• being mistreated, undervalued, or disrespected.
• disagreeing with the fundamental strategy or practices of
the company and not being in a position to change them.
• failing to get along with your manager and your teammates.
• failing to fit in with the company culture.
These types of reasons aren't too hard to identify and provide
concrete justifications for trying something new.
It's also time to leave when your learning rate at your job
tapers off and starts to plateau. This is a much more subtle
reason for leaving that's harder for people to recognize but
likely affects a much larger group of people. Transitioning to
another team or company provides an opportunity to switch
to a different learning curve and to accelerate your learning.
Paying attention to your learning rate is important in
general but particularly important for young professionals.
