So, when is the best time to quit your job?
It\’s not simple to decide whether or not to quit your work, and it\’s not a decision to be taken lightly. It\’s a difficult decision to make, but happily, you don\’t have to make it alone.
Maybe you\’re seeking for a sign, as I was, that it\’s good to quit a job that\’s not working out. Perhaps you\’re simply bored and wonder if that\’s enough of a cause to start looking for anything new. You\’re probably not alone, whatever your cause is.
If your instinct tells you it\’s time to leave your employment, do so.
If you\’re already debating whether or not to quit your job, I believe you should. As soon as you say no to something that is no longer serving you, opportunities start to pour in from all directions.
“Have faith in your instincts. Nobody should have a pit in their stomach about their job. That is your warning sign that it is time to make a change. Although popular on Instagram stories, Sunday scaries aren\’t always a given and don\’t have to be a part of your reality. You won\’t dread Mondays if you work in a job that\’s a good fit for you.”

If you notice early signs of job insecurity, you should quit your job.
During a merger or acquisition, it\’s usually easy to discern if your career is in threat. For example, if you work in corporate finance and your company gets acquired by a large conglomerate that already has a large corporate finance group, you should start looking for signs of trouble. If a new leader arrives and begins replacing her direct reports with people she previously worked with, it\’s a good sign that you should start spreading your wings and activating your network.
