Career Change: Weigh Your Options
Have you been thinking about leaving your job for a new position? Have you contemplated switching fields? Ever wonder what it’d be like to change career paths? Do you feel overwhelmed when thinking about a change of scenery? Sit down for ten minutes and give yourself the time to weigh your options.
Grab a piece of paper and answer the following questions:
-What would be the pros of leaving your position?
-What would be the cons?
-How would you benefit from staying?
-What benefits would come if you left?
-What have you been interested in doing for a living?
-What would you never want to do again?
-What lights you up?
-What weighs you down?
-Who could you reach out to that could provide further information to you in regards to the positions you’re interested in?
-What are your salary requirements?
-What benefits are important to you?
Write down your answers and start looking for available positions, according to your work-life preferences.
It doesn’t hurt to look around! If your gut is telling you it’s time to leave, listen. If it’s only about more money, think harder... 💛
