How do you know when it’s time to leave a “good” job? My role is stable, my coworkers are decent, but I haven’t learned anything new in a year. I feel like I’m stagnating, but everyone says how “lucky” I am to be here. Do you stay for security or risk it for growth?

If you’re not growing, you’re dying—staying just because it’s “comfortable” is how people wake up 10 years later full of regret. Loyalty doesn’t pay your bills or build your resume. Jump before you flatline.

Start searching for a new gig. Keep your job until you firmly land your next one. It’s brutal out here.

You’re keenly aware that ‘good’ is relative. It’s all about what you want to get out of a job. For some, consistent, and maybe predictable work is great, for some it’s learning and growing to get to the next level.

You probably have already done this, but I’d find a way to communicate this with your manager to see if there are any shifts in the types of projects you could take on. If after that discussion there’s no momentum, that’s a clear sign to look for another role elsewhere
