A job offer, period. I've been looking and it's tough in this market.

Job security is really the key to peace of mind, but even an offer in hand is a real gamble.

My mental health. If my current role has become unbearable to the point where it has taken a toll on my mental health, that would be my go signal.

I've noticed that as well, there's a certain safety in the familiar even if we suffer in it. Same reason some people stay in relationships that hurt then. I usually try to have another job offer lined up before I quit a role I don't like. Gives me peace of mind.

Unfortunately, it's not always this cut and dry. I'm not in love with my role, but I also have a home and a family and other obligations that would make just up and moving nearly impossible. Sometimes we have no choice but to suck it up and just deal with what life has given us.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
