There are some clear signs that it might be time to move on:
1️⃣ Toxic Work Environment – Constant conflicts, negativity, and a lack of support from your team can make even the best job unbearable.
2️⃣ Chronic Burnout and Exhaustion – If your job drains you more than it fulfills you, and no one listens when you try to make improvements, it might be a sign to leave.
3️⃣ Issues with Leadership – They say, “People join companies but leave managers.” For example, in 2023/2024, a well-known game company changed its management, leading to mass resignations. Employees faced overtime, and the new culture and values no longer aligned with what they originally signed up for.
4️⃣ Salary and Benefits Stagnation – If your compensation isn’t keeping up with industry standards or doesn’t reflect your contributions, it might be time to explore other opportunities.
5️⃣ You’ve Outgrown Your Role – If your tasks have become too easy, and there’s no room for growth or challenges, staying might mean stagnation.
6️⃣ Shifts in the Job Market – Adapting to industry changes is key. For example, Unity developers facing layoffs and hiring slowdowns have started learning C++ and Unreal Engine to stay competitive.
If any of these sound familiar, it might be worth considering your next career move!
