Introduction

Most times your
reasons to quit may seems good enough for you either because you dislike
your job. But that
doesn'
t
mean you should quit. They may be other factor to consider if only you chose
not to make a hasty decision of quitting.

vCan I financially afford
to quit?

The
key of been financially able to manage yourself after quitting can only be
answered by you. “Ask yourself, ‘If I quit my job without a new one to go to,
how can I budget for a six- or even 12-month safety net? What expenses can I
cut temporarily knowing I can get them back once I have a new job and also how
long would I be able to sustain myself before I get a new job?”

vBefore you Resign, identify your options for finding new
work

If
your answer to the “Should I quit my job?” is YES, then it’s time to figure the
best time to resign from work! Will you stick it out until you find another
job?  Will you draw an imaginary line in the sand, vowing to quit the
minute your boss crosses it?  Will you ask for a raise and resign if your
request is denied?

vTake a step back, and realistically assess your situation

Try
to distinguish between the realities of your job, and your perceptions and
emotions about it It’s difficult working in a job for which you are clearly
overqualified, but are there sufficient opportunities available to you right
now to find a position for which you are better suited? Before quitting your
job, you need to consider the consequences.

vDo You Have the Right Experience?

Building
up experience can take little time be patience enough to build experience so
you can effectively market yourself for another role? You may need to stay a
little longer so you can build that credibility and really hone those skills.
That way, you'll have a better shot of getting that job you really want.

vAre You Overworked?

If
being
"overworked" is part of the workplace
culture
at your job, then it could be time
to quit, especially if it's negatively affecting your mental health and you've
tried to make changes and you still feel burned out at work. Just make sure you
ask about workplace culture in your future job interviews, so you don't accept
a job offer at another company with the same overworking atmosphere.

vHave You Worked in That Job for Two Years?

This
indeed is a great deal to consider, typically, it takes a few months to train
and get comfortable in a position. However, most people aren't just
automatically great at their jobs. They need to take some time to learn their
new skills and really provide value to the company before they can market those
new skills toward another job so therefore before considering if you would quit
your job always think of your level of experience that should help you get another
job.
