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 ✌🏼

It’s always the right time to move on as long as you are moving to something .... if you hate your job that’s not a reason to go that’s a reason to look. Go when the opportunity excites you

2 years long enough?

I do between 1.5 and 2 years, every move has been a significant bump in responsibility and pay. Only have had one hiring manager mention it as a negative, further discussions with them showed they just had atrocious hiring practices.

OP, you’re definitely talking about a career change, right? Not relationships?

Gut..as always

There is no one set of universal signs...it varies between each person

Go fit your gut and find work that you love

It is never the right time, and always the right time.

Always be ready and prepared to exit for the right opportunity.

And leave before you get a bad attitude, while you are successful...on a high note!

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
