How do you know when it's time to leave a job?

You are currently posting as works at

When you feel like you've done what you can do, and can't really accomplish anything more where you are. Or you realize that there's no advancement possible from your current situation. Or if you've just lost the spark, and the work doesn't interest or engage you any longer. Those are good reasons to start looking for something elsewhere.

I think when you're completely dreading getting out of bed for work each morning you've probably burnt yourself out. You might just need a break, like a good vacation, but more than likely you have run your course with this job and it's time to move on
