You have spent time building a successful career, but you still find you go to work with an uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach. If this is the case, now may be a good time to consider switching careers.  

 Ultimately, there are many signs that it is time to switch careers, such as: 

1. You Feel Indifferent About Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Your career should challenge you, to the point where creativity and innovation reign supreme. But, if you feel indifferent about performing the same, mundane, everyday tasks, you may be ready for a new career.  

2. You Aren’t Satisfied with Your Salary

You want a career that provides you with an opportunity to earn a salary that matches your expectations. If you feel like you have committed significant time and energy to accelerate your career growth but find that your salary is still below-average, you may want to consider new career opportunities.  

3. Your Job Impacts Your Personal Life

Your job and your personal life should remain separate. Yet, if job stress interferes with your ability to enjoy life outside of work, you may want to pursue another career.  

4. You’re Jealous of Your Co-Workers

You put everything you can into your everyday work, but your co-workers are frequently promoted over you. In these instances, you may feel jealous of your co-workers’ success, which can lead to resentment. If jealousy and resentment become common problems at work, you should look elsewhere to grow your career.  

5. Your Everyday Productivity Continues to Decline

Lack of interest in everyday work activities can hamper your productivity. If you no longer feel interested in your day-to-day work, find a career that makes you feel excited and enthusiastic to complete a wide range of tasks.  

6. You Are Thinking About Quitting

You have worked with your company for some time, but the thought of quitting has been more prevalent now than ever before. If you believe that you can do more outside of your company than as a part of it, you may want to leave your job so you can swap careers.  

7. You Constantly Complain About Work

You frequently tell friends and family members how much you dislike your current job. In this scenario, you may be ready for a career switch.  

8. You Feel Worn Out

You work hard every day, but you feel exhausted at the end of the work day and outside of work. If work constantly wears you out, you should pursue a career that energizes you.  

9. You Make Excuses to Get Out of Work

You are required to work every weekday, but you look for any excuse to avoid going to work. If you find yourself frequently taking sick and personal days, a career switch may be beneficial.  

10. You Feel Irritable

You feel frustrated and annoyed any time you’re at work. If you feel irritable due to work, a career change may help you alleviate this issue.
