The thought of leaving your current role creates so much fear and may cause you to hesitate. You will only do it when the pain of staying is too great and the new role seems like it will be a much better fit. In my experience, change occurs when you are ready for it.
Going through the job change might feel like scary, but the experience can help you grow in so many ways.
You will meet new people, learn new things and realize how much you know. You can’t see that when you are in the current situation, but you will gain that perspective by leaving. For those who have chosen to make the move, many will say that they wished they would have moved out of their old role a long time ago.
Do you feel like you should try something new? Trust those feelings when you have them. Just take the first step and see what is out there. Do a few interviews to see what is out there and get some perspective of your worth. It will open your eyes to new possibilities. You don’t have to leave your current role unless you are ready to make the final decision.
The fear that you feel when you think about job change is your ego trying to keep you safe and comfortable.
This will push you out of your comfort zone, but know that you can make this shift successfully and grow in ways that you never thought possible.
