This one is personal. Leaving a role, especially one you’ve invested yourself in, is never easy. But sometimes staying too long costs you more than leaving ever would. How do you know when it’s time to move on from a job or company in retail or hospitality?

Sometimes you know you've reached that point when it feels like you're just going through the motions. The job isn't difficult and you're okay with it, but it's just kind of boring. At that point it's best to get serious about finding something else, otherwise you'll start to stagnate. And you'll lose out on opportunities that could be out there.

That’s a really fair point. Sometimes it’s not even that the job is bad, it’s just that feeling of going through the motions every day. I agree that’s usually a sign it might be time to start looking for something new before you get too comfortable and miss other opportunities.

An easy way of knowing, is when you dread going to work. If days off and time off, becomes the highlight, and not the job. Then, there's no value in staying.

That’s a really good way to put it. When the highlight of your week becomes the days you don’t have to work, it’s usually a sign something isn’t right anymore. Life’s too short to stay somewhere that constantly drains you. Appreciate you sharing that perspective. 👍

I move on when the responsibilities outmatch the pay, and if it stays that way for a long time. I'm not about being taken advantage of anymore!

That’s a fair point. When the responsibilities keep growing but the pay doesn’t reflect it, it definitely starts to feel like you’re being taken for granted. Good on you for recognizing your worth and setting that boundary. 👏

Anyone willing to provide some advice / a referral at Capital One? I went through the process and power day, got good marks and great feedback. They hired someone internal for the role and are now looking for open spots on various teams I could join. I’ve been having conversations since the summer so I’m really trying to make this change happen ASAP/ get connected with the right people before 2023. Thanks in advance!

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
