Why You Should Change Your Job. My Opinion.

Why we should quit even if the company is paying the salary? Why not we enjoy the comfort zone? I don't think so.

These are my opinions:

1) Retrenchment

There are long serving employees. I have a friend who was retrenched after 30 years of service. He was the unlucky one, he only received 3 months compensation. There are companies compensates according to the years of service, however, not every company. Long serving doesn't guarantees decent compensation.   

2) Experience and Learning

Working with a company without gaining much experience is a "dangerous zone". Continuous learning is important, Especially the young employees, please quit for experience. Learn as much as possible during younger age, that's the time you able to learn fast. 

3) Promotion 

Study the employee's promotion history of the company for reference. It can be subjective, you might want to work hard for the promotion first. If your endeavour is not rewarded, the reference is applicable. However, experience is more important than promotion for youngsters. Balance it well before resign, you would know when is the right time.

4) The Project Status

Study the progress of the project. Successful project is vital for your career. It will decide your increment, bonus and promotion. It also indicates a successful employee because of involvement. That's the easiest way for next employer to recruit you with higher salary. 

Finally, what do you want to achieve for your career? I have a friend who is two years away from achieving a milestone of half century service for the same company. On the other hand, a boss told me, it's okay to quit a job because you need to learn new skills for career development.
