Where is the love?
If your feelings for the current role are not the same as they used to be, don’t be disheartened, it’s common to lose passion. What you need to do is remember why you chose it in the first place and trace where you think it changed. Could it be a disagreement with a colleague or not getting the project you wanted? Talk to your superior and see if anything can be adjusted.
List It
If you are having a low, make a list of all the pros and cons to your current role and then try to analyse what will have to change for you to feel content. If it’s an issue of pay, what would need to be adjusted for you to be happy with the current salary?
Speak Up
If you have a point to make – do it. Sometimes playing it safe is even more detrimental than speaking your mind and having people disagree. Once you showcase your value, your confidence will grow and you might finally get that raise or opportunity you’ve been working towards.
Hold the Door
Grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but researching other roles can actually highlight how good you have it now. Or, it can help you see what skills you need to improve on so when you do finally feel it’s time to move on, you are armed with everything you need. But we suggest giving it another six months before handing in your notice.
Don’t Burn Bridges
If your role has ran it’s course and you have found the next opportunity, leave your current job on a good note because you never know when your colleague, or even your boss, could be a help in hand.
