When you stop learning. When you stop having fun. When you feel you are stagnating.

Ask me!! How much I m hating monday

like

When you don’t care what project you are assigned because no matter what happens you resent how much time it takes you away from the people and things you love. When you spend every waking moment thinking of all the things you’d rather be doing than being at work. When “being challenged” at work no longer appeals to you because you don’t get to exercise, sleep, or socialize.

Hang in there, OP! Start interviewing for other jobs and see what interests you. I’m just hanging in for a milestone work anniversary and then I’m going to ✌🏼

Learning something new should always be priority and fear of stagnation should be your #1 reason for leaving. However, there may be other circumstances that will force you to reconsider your position.

I normally take Directors or VPs leaving as a bad omen. Change at mid to high level executives might signal a change in ethos. I may not like the new flavour of management or their policies. Time to move on.

On the other hand I treat exits that are one or two levels above me as opportunity and stick on.

Maybe naive but this has worked well so far.
