At what point do you stop being grateful for a job and start looking for something better?
I’m 2 years into my career and currently work remotely in marketing.
The job is stable, the people are good, and I’m grateful to be employed. But lately I’ve been struggling with a feeling that I’m not growing as much as I want to.
Part of me feels I should appreciate what I have, especially given the current job market. Another part feels that staying comfortable too long could hurt my long-term career.
For those who are further along in their careers, how did you know it was time to move on from a job that wasn’t necessarily bad, but no longer felt challenging?
Looking back, do you wish you had stayed longer for stability, or left sooner for growth?
