When do you know it’s time to leave your current job or switch careers? I’ve been in the retail industry for more than 15 years and I want to switch careers because I feel like I outgrew the industry I am in.

I tend to get bored at a job and want to leave somewhere between the 2 to 3 year mark. Now, if I’m in a toxic work environment, I try to leave sooner. But I’ve never really stayed at a place longer than 3 1/2 years before jumping ship.

My sister does this method a lot and her salary has doubled because of it. Unlike me, I’ve been at my job for almost 10 years and I’m tired of the same routine and plus it’s not challenging me mentally at all.

Leave when you no longer feel challenged.

Hmmm I never thought about this. My job is not challenging at all that’s why I’ve been there for so long. But I think I may need a challenging job next.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?
