There is no perfect manager, senior member, or junior member. There is no bad company or organization. It is the people who make it great or not. Before you say “enough is enough, it’s too much, I want to quit”, take a moment to list all the problems and challenges that your company faces.
Before you decide to search for change, ask yourself a few questions.
Are your qualifications in line with your current profile?
Do you love your job?
Are you being recognized by your senior managers for your outstanding work?
Are you respected by your colleagues and your team?
Do you have the ability to find balance between work and your personal life?
Are you using the latest technology to learn new things and improve your market value?
Is your 3 year roadmap promising for you?
Are you satisfied with the performance or behavior of your reporting manager?
Are your expectations met in relation to the salaries of people with similar experience and profiles?
You don’t need to make a career change if you answered “yes” 5 of the 9 questions above. Most employees leave their jobs because of their reporting manager. This is a mistake as people-related issues can be found in every organization. If you think your manager is the worst, you are wrong. Talk to your 20-30 closest friends and you will find 100 people worse than your boss. You might regret making the decision to change your job because of one person.
