Itโ€™s a question I hear weekly from friends, colleagues, candidates, even clients:
 โ€œIs it time to start looking?โ€
 
So this week, Iโ€™m sharing my take on the real signs itโ€™s time to consider a moveโ€ฆ and how to do it with clarity, not chaos.
 
Career Stagnation is Real
According to a recent LinkedIn Workplace report, 59% of professionals said lack of career growth was their number one reason for leaving a role.

If you havenโ€™t learned anything new in the last 6โ€“12 months, or if promotions always seem to pass you by, thatโ€™s a red flag..

Toxic Culture? Trust Your Gut.
From microaggressions to constant burnout, culture creep can be subtle but it adds up.
If your Sunday night dread feels heavier than it used to, or if youโ€™re constantly โ€˜performingโ€™ at work rather than being yourself, it might be time to reassess.

Create a Plan, Donโ€™t Just Rage-Resign
Itโ€™s tempting to quit on a bad day, but the most successful career pivots come from strategy, not emotion.
Take stock:
 โ€ข What are your non-negotiables now?
 โ€ข What does growth look like to you?
 โ€ข Whoโ€™s in your network that can help you move smartly?
 
๐Ÿ’ก My Top Tip: Keep an eye out before it gets urgent. The best time to look is when youโ€™re curious, not when youโ€™re desperate.
 
And remember, exploring doesnโ€™t mean disloyalty, it means valuing your own development.
