I use this analogy when people ask me this question:

A job is like being on a train, you can work your way up to the first class cabin.
The train station is like unemployment. You could be there for an hour, you could be there for days if you don’t know the train schedule.
The best case scenario for quitting/ switching jobs is when two trains are next to each other, when they’re running at the same speed it’s as simple as taking a step from one train to the next.
Stopping at a station may seem easier to line up, but there’s always a risk another train may not come for a long time.

I love this. Thank you so much. That’s a really great point.

Joking aside, when you have a lot of thoughts that you’d rather be somewhere else, anywhere else, then you know that emotionally you are already climbing over the wall to get out. We all reach that part in our careers where we know “it’s time” and then we start to focus on finding our next great opportunity.

When your company doesn’t give you a raise when your company – double your workload you are doing a five person job. Why because he can’t keep anybody because they don’t have to talk to people. They overwork their people and they give them double work to do we doing a five persons job. That’s when it’s time to quit your job.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"
