Mini Toolkit: Should I Stay or Should I Go? Advice to the Millennials before they change jobs

USD $25.00 USD $15.00

Over the last few years I have had several accountants talk to me about their need for career guidance. In most cases, they have entered their thirties having become very competent, technical accountants yet have not had a well-rounded experience in management.  This situation alerted me to the fact that this may be a common problem with generation X. I thus have written this working guide.

Choosing an organisation and a life partner have much in common. During the courtship both parties are on best behaviour, with all adverse behaviour traits well disguised. Promises are made, and even lies told, to give the impression that life is going to be so much better together. We find, as time passes, that indeed the grass may not be “greener on the other side of the fence”.

We thus need to be careful and well researched when thinking about a move. The future may indeed lie with the existing organisation. Jack Welch, the CEO of General Electric had a one job career.

This working guide gives you the answers to the following questions:

  • What are good reasons to quit your job?
  • What are the signs you should quit your job?
  • When to leave a job for another job?
  • How to decide to leave a job for another?
