Four questions to ask yourself before deciding to leave the company

How are you going to judge if you've been in the same company long enough? Should we find a way to get another guy?

Jack Welch, the legendary president of GE, has published an article in LinkedIn hoping this article will help you solve the problem. In the article, will Xu mentioned a well-known enterprise as an investment manager friend, one day when the friend drove to work, he and the usual car parked in the same position, then he found that he can not go out of the vehicle.

"Maybe I've been in this company too long," he said. He thought so. If you ask him what's wrong with him? Then his answer: "It's not because of one thing, but I find everything is wrong." It's no wonder he drove home at once and then submitted his resignation.

Of course, I don't think it's the most dramatic way that people find themselves in a company for too long to quit. And should not leave, in fact, there is no specific criteria to follow, but will Xu made a suggestion, perhaps you can first try to ask yourself these four questions, help yourself to find the answer to the question.

1. Do you want to go to work every morning?

This is the simplest and most obvious answer, but most people are unwilling to face it. Do you feel excited or scared when you go to work every day? Do you think the job is interesting and meaningful, or is it just for decreasing? Do you still continue to learn and grow?

Will gave an example of his friend. She worked for seven years at a consultancy, and she used to love her company as a future career. But one day, she suddenly began to hope that the weekend is five days so long, feel that every day to know more than their own clients to advise, is like a hypocrite! So, she is now happy to switch to the "frontline" to work in a retail business marketing department.

2. Do you enjoy spending time with co-workers?

We don't want you to spend the weekend with co-workers, but if you don't really like and respect these things you have to work with for 10 hours a day, you'll eventually want to leave the company. So why don't you leave early and start a relationship with another company that you really want to take root in?

3. Can today's companies help you achieve your personal vision?

Essentially, the question is asking you whether your company supports your goals and values in life. For example, does your company need you to travel a lot, but you don't really want to be on the run? Can they give you the "work-life balance" you want? Does this company give you an upward drive to ignite your ambitions? It's not a question of right or wrong, it's just a feeling, Do you think you invest your time in a right or wrong company?

4. Can you imagine yourself this year at the company?

Say a year because it's the time you need to find a better job. So, try to imagine the future as much as you can, and predict where you will be in the organization. What kind of work do you do? Who do you manage? or be managed by someone? If the situation you are imagining will cause you to lose your enthusiasm, you are just wasting your time, or you're just staying in the company too long.

We are not suggesting that you leave the office, no matter where you work, you have to endure difficulties and bottlenecks, or to complete a tedious task, survive in a crisis or move on. But it really doesn't make sense to stay in the same company just because of inertia.

Open the locked door and go out for a break!
