What are signs you should move on from your job? Been at my company for 5 years and feel completely burnt out and under appreciated. Don’t know if it’s due more to WFH but getting the itch it may be time to make a move. Currently in wealth management and thinking of making a move to fintech for a better work like balance.

5 years sounds like a great time to make a move. The longer one stays at the same company, the more likely they are being underpaid. We tend to make our highest salary percentage increases when switching companies. Make a change now while the job market is the way it is.

The question here is why do you feel burnt out and under appreciated. If you think it’s a common practice in the industry or you believe that you aren’t being paid your worth (aren’t we all!) then a change is the way to go. If it isn’t the aforementioned reason, then it’s best to introspect a bit before taking the decision

When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time
