🌟 When to Consider Quitting Your Job: A Learning Experience Feeling undervalued at work can be disheartening. If you find yourself in this situation, consider these signs: Lack of Recognition: When your contributions go unnoticed, it’s time to reflect. As the saying goes, “Work hard in silence; let success make the noise.” But if the silence persists, it might be time to explore other opportunities Stagnation: If there’s no room for growth or improvement, it’s a red flag. Remember, “A rolling stone gathers no moss.” Seek environments where your potential is nurtured and appreciated. External Validation vs. Inner Fulfillment: While external validation is nice, real fulfillment comes from within. As Oscar Wilde said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” Prioritize your well-being and self-worth. Toxic Work Environment: If negativity, gossip, or hostility pervade the workplace, it can impact your well-being. As Maya Angelou wisely said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” Prioritize your mental health. Values Misalignment: When your personal values clash with the company’s culture or practices, it’s a sign. As Steve Jobs emphasized, “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.” Seek alignment. Remember, your career journey is about growth and fulfillment. Reflect, learn, and choose wisely! 🌟🚀 and quitting isn’t failure; it’s a courageous step toward a better path. 🚀 #CareerAdvice #SelfWorth #ProfessionalGrowth

Is it your job or the company that's really the issue? I’ve been working with a client lately who thought she was done with her job. She felt stuck and ready to leave, but before jumping to that, we had to figure out: Is it the job, the company, or maybe a mix of both? Sometimes we think quitting will fix everything. But if you don’t understand what’s wrong, you could end up in the same spot again. So, we took a step back and dug deeper. She realises there are areas in her job she can change to improve her day-to-day, but there are some fundamentals that are beyond her control to change. It feels good to control the controllables, and let go of the things that are beyond her sphere of influence.  Now she aims to make her current job work for her while figuring out her next move. Win-win. Here are some questions I asked her, and you might want to ask yourself too: ❓What feels off in your job? ❓Is it the tasks you’re doing or how they line up with what you actually care about? ❓Is it the company, or is it the role? Maybe it’s the company vibe that’s bringing you down, not the job itself. Or maybe it’s both. ❓What do you need more of at work? Support? A challenge? Sometimes a small change can make a huge difference. ❓Have you thought about your values, skills, and priorities? ❓Does your job fit your life goals and what matters to you? If not, what needs to change? It's easy to think a “new” job will solve everything. But if you haven’t figured out what’s actually wrong, you might end up in the same situation somewhere else. So before you click apply, ask yourself: What’s really bothering me? Sometimes fixing things where you are can make all the difference. How’s your job feeling? Are there things you can change now, or is it time to move on?

Sometimes, the job isn’t toxic—it’s just not right for you, and that’s reason enough to move on. You don’t need a dramatic story to justify leaving. If it doesn’t align with your goals, values, or the life you want to build, that’s valid. Your career is yours to shape, and staying in the wrong place out of guilt or fear only holds you back. Quitting isn’t failure—it’s choosing growth. #CareerGrowth #JobSearch #WorkLifeBalance #CareerChange

Today’s Tip Ask These Questions to Determine Whether Your Job Is Salvageable Bad days at work are inevitable, and frustration is bound to be a part of almost any job. But if your dissatisfaction is pushing you to consider quitting, how can you assess whether your job is salvageable—or a sunk cost? Start by asking yourself these questions. Is the workplace toxic? If you feel as though your workplace makes you feel afraid, intimidated, demoralized, or like you're compromising your values, it’s time to plan your exit strategy. Is your problem temporary or permanent? Before making any rash decisions, consider whether your issues are temporary—big, stressful projects will soon wrap; new, engaging projects will soon start—or are likely to persist long-term. Are you miserable—or just bored? Work can feel deeply draining when you’re not creatively engaged; your tasks don’t resonate with you; or your responsibilities are simply mind-numbing. Look for ways to expand your role or learn new skills on the job. If you're simply bored with your current role, look for ways to expand it and learn new skills. Are you the problem? Reflect on your approach to work. Perhaps you're working too hard—or not hard enough. Consider your workplace relationships too. If your work friendships are overly negative and focused on commiserating, taking a step back might help you rediscover the bright side of your work.

Resilience: Beyond Blind Persistence Recently, during a job interview, I was asked about an important decision in my academic journey: leaving medical school in my fifth year. The interviewer’s reaction was what I expected: "Oh, but you were so close... couldn’t you have just finished?" She suggested that her resilience wouldn’t have allowed her to quit. This made me reflect on how often we interpret resilience solely as the ability to persist, to never give up, to push our limits to the extreme. But is resilience really just that? Scientifically, resilience is the ability to adapt positively in the face of adversity. It's about bouncing back after a fall, yes, but it's also about recognizing when a path no longer makes sense and having the courage and wisdom to choose another that brings more happiness and fulfillment. In my journey, quitting wasn’t a failure. It was a conscious act of self-care and realignment with what truly matters to me. I have a very healthy relationship with these decisions. I see quitting as just another choice: if it’s made with awareness, in pursuit of happiness, and with minimal negative impact on others, then it is the right decision at that moment, for that person. But I kept thinking: is there room for this perspective in our workplaces? In organizational cultures where "quitting" isn’t taboo but rather a sign of adaptation, flexibility, and self-awareness? Where resilience is seen as the ability to adjust course, not as the exhaustion of trying to achieve something that no longer makes sense? I believe we need more workplaces that understand and respect this approach. Where well-being and personal growth are valued as much as professional success. Where "resilience" means, above all, knowing what is best for ourselves and our balance. What do you think? Have you found work environments that value this broader and healthier form of resilience? #Resilience #SelfAwareness #MentalHealth #Career #OrganizationalCulture #MeaningfulWork

Enough now, I am leaving my job!! Ever had that moment where this thought crossed your mind. Then, You’re not alone. But it's not as simple as it seems. You need to ask yourself some critical and crucial questions to understand whether you’re actually ready to take the leap or not ⬇️ 📌 Do I really want to leave? It’s easy to think about quitting, but the real question is —what’s keeping you here? 📌 Where will I go? Once you start thinking of leaving, the next question is —what’s out there for me? 📌 Am I skilled enough? The job market is competitive. If you’re not ready, it’s time to upskill before making any big moves. 📌 Can I afford this? Quitting means losing your income. Do you have a plan to cover the gap? 📌 Am I doing the right thing? People will have opinions. But your growth and happiness should come first. Leaving a job isn’t just about finding something new. It’s about being prepared, both mentally and practically. PS- Have you been through this?

Quitting your job isn't always the solution. Many clients come to me saying, "I'm fed up with my job. It's too exhausting. I'm quitting." And I ask them - have you done what you can to make it work? Sometimes, leaving the job is taking the easy route that might not solve the real issue. You might be exhausted because you don't enjoy your current work. You think your boss is giving you too much work which is causing the issue. But maybe you're just putting off looking and working on things that need your attention - like knowing what you want, having crucial conversations, setting priorities, saying NO, asking for what you want! Changing jobs won't fix this. You might feel the same way in a new job. Sometimes, changing jobs isn't the solution. Changing your attitude could help instead. Before you quit, ask yourself: ~ What parts of my job do I actually like? ~ Am I giving my best effort? ~ Have I talked to my boss about my concerns? ~ Could I improve my time management? ~ Am I taking care of myself outside of work? Quitting can be a bold step forward. But it can also be running away from problems that will follow you. Take time to reflect. Maybe you need a new challenge within your current job. Or perhaps you need to set better boundaries. Remember, your attitude shapes your experience. A job change might help, but it's not always the cure. Before you hand in your notice, be sure. Is it really the job you need to quit? Or is it your approach to work that needs a refresh? What could you do differently to find more satisfaction in your current role?

you're just 20. why do you need to work? it's the time for you to relax and chill. While some might find work unusual for a 20-year-old, I'm embracing the hustle. It's not just about the paycheck (although that helps), it's about gaining experience, developing skills, and setting myself up for a fulfilling career. Sure, there are days when the FOMO hits and the allure of endless parties beckons. But here's the thing: I don't have to choose. Work hard, play hard is my motto. I balance my grind with fun – attending parties, hanging out with friends, and exploring new places. The best part? I can use my earnings to treat my parents (pampering for mom, cool gifts for dad) and create some amazing memories for myself – solo adventures to scenic spots, anyone? This path might not be conventional, but it feels right for me. There's time for both – building a future I'm proud of and enjoying the journey along the way. Who knows what the future holds, but I'm confident that with hard work and a balanced approach, I won't have any regrets. #futureproof #youngandworking #balancedlife #gratitude #corporate #students #studyandwork #parttimejobs P.S.
