How do you know when it's time to leave your current company and move on?

I quit jobs 2 times before. And this is how I knew it:
- Logically there is no obvious reasons to quit the job but deep down I know I want to join a bigger journey ( 1 time to start Caravat & recently to start Anphabe) (very hard to explain this feeling but people may call it gut feeling)
- I feel fear yet the little voice inside keep telling me: The only way to overcome this fear is to do it (I've experience many times that if I have this dreadful fear and still keep going, the result turn out beautifully)

So if you feel don't with the current job, even you don't have a very clear of what next, just move on. There's a will then there's a way!

- When you wake up in the morning but want to do something else , NOT going to work
- When you talk about work but your mind think of your personal other plan
- When you speak to colleague and telling yourself I don't feel good being around these people

If you find yourself asking this question, it is time to move on.

Too often, people look at their job as a "block of time" in their career. They wait for one job to near conclusion, either through some level of unhappiness or maybe even being laid off, and then they become "awake" and take purposeful steps to move their career to the next level (or unfortunately the same level in many cases).

I suggest that people remain awake and constantly manage control of their careers. Instead of blocks of time, people should expect constant career growth. The best companies will identify the best workers and help them along this path through advancement within the same company, because it is in their mutual interest to do so. Unfortunately, most companies do not do this, so you are left to your own career management.

Always expect more out of yourself in your career and seek real career growth wherever you can find it. If you find yourself asking if it is time to leave your current company, you've already answered the question.

it can be difficult to determine whether you can get what you need from the company you’re at or whether it’s time to stage a breakout. It’s tough making the decision to quit your job, especially now with the unemployment so high. Some people try to stick out a job they don’t love out of fear they’ll get labeled as a “job hopper” or have trouble finding the next gig (after all, most recruiters prefer to hire people who are already employed). Others find that leaving a stressful job frees them up emotionally and logistically to find the next job.
I left my full-time copywriting job two years ago to focus on freelance projects. I had some concerns, but it felt like the right time, because I was getting so many freelance writing projects that I had to turn many of them away due to my day job. Other times I’ve left job because there was nowhere for me to advance in the company or because the corporate culture wasn’t a fit for me (those times I had new jobs before I left or within a day of giving my resignation).

It depends on your goals. For me, it's very simple. Once I feel that there's no more opportunities to learn new skills or there's no more motivation, it's time to find a new challenge. The reason is that without motivation, you cannot achieve successes. Without successes, you cannot claim high on your career path.

Before deciding whether to leave your company, you should think carefully. Writing out your goals and matching with your daily activities at your company to see if you're on the right track. If you're still doing good, of course there's a lot motivation. Otherwise, you should look around to see new opportunities.
