The biggest sign for me is when you wake up and you just have that "ugh" feeling. You don't necessarily dread going to work, you're just sick of the doing same thing with the same people over and over. I have changed jobs simply due being sick of the place and the money was secondary (though the big boost is still appreciated).
This hits home for me. I started a job at the beginning of September because I was furloughed at my previous job. After working a few weeks I knew the company wasn't a good fit for several reasons. I like my career so I interviewed elsewhere for the same position and they offered me the job. I put in my two weeks and two days later they offered me a substantial raise to stay. Even though the money would have been great I wasn't happy there so I spoke to the company I am going to and they gave me a little bump in starting pay and day one benefits. I know in the long run I will be happier there.
how do you manage in such short time? most companies i talked to and got offers from offer me 2-3 business days to accept offer. in that time if i counter offer, chances are i will be passed over. usually if i counter right at time of offer, i will probably get it. and it doesn't help when im unemployed before starting potential new job.
@@asadb1990 I interviewed with the company I am at right now on a Wednesday afternoon. On Monday morning I got an email with the offer letter. That morning I gave my 2 weeks notice at my former job. The following Wednesday (2 days later) they offered me the money to stay. That same afternoon I contacted my current job and talked with them about how the place I was leaving offered me a substantial raise to stay but I felt that I really needed to work for them instead. They came up some in starting pay and offered me day one benefits. I then went ahead and told the company I was leaving I was flattered but still felt like the other place is where I should be. Everything happened in about a week's time.
@@Trainspotting944 yeah just be flattered you get offer from current employer and just still move to next company. if you didn't have offer, chances are company would never give you the raise.
I’m so so glad our philosophy about what’s important aligns. I can trust your opinions and advice even more now! Happiness really is the most important thing, Aristotle figured it out thousands of years ago
I have no criminal record and I'm drug free. I separated from my last employer with about 9 months. I've been rejected by hiring systems repeatedly the last several days. Yes, it is an employers market now. I'll attempt to work 2 part time jobs. Moving in with family too.
Andy, gotta say a big heartfelt thanks. Just got my first six figures offer for a great position in senior management....honestly, lots of gratitude to you and huge respect. Your material is absolutely the best one can find, and I am very lucky I did found you. Your material perfectly predicted every stage of the process and help me to prepare way beyond I could have without you. Thanks
I have gotten 5 job offers in the last 3 months and I knew it was time to leave before I even started!! LOL I ended up declining the offers because as soon as they knew they "had me" they started showing their true colors and I saw a lot of shady stuff, and the way they treated me changed abruptly... so that raised a lot of red flags and I simply walked away after having accepted some offers.
Hi I am a teacher in a new school where I started to shine because I was happier then people around me...but some other teachers are starting to tease me and also they were checking my capabilities to work under pressure well that I can do....but the atmosphere around me started to impact my day...so sometimes I feel sad and it is the opposite of what I want...how can I deal with this ? Particularly now because it is becoming hard to get a job
Nobody ever said to me that I should be happy about what I do. I chose my occupation - as I interprenet it - when my parents cleverly manipulated me to choose architecture. They had planned that I study architecture, work in my father‘s architect office, marry an architect, live in their neighbour, etc. There was one person who asked me:“ Do you like your job?“ It was my grandmother. She propably saw how depressed I was. Nobody else cared, and I struggled to get out from the trap. Finally I struggled so much that I sold ny apartment, quit my job and moved abroad, to Berlin, to finally start my things (graphic designing). What happened? I constantly meet people whobare pushing ke to work to architect offices. They are doing a lot here, they need workers. Nobody, ever, has said that I should be happy about my job, or content about it. Every single person seem to shut their ears when I say: „I do not want to be an architect.“ They look at me snd say:“Here is a list of architect offices... apply here...“ Or: „I need a renovation plan...“ or: „I inherited a house and it needs an architect...“ Of course, these jobs I should do half-free. Or totally free. My career choise and trying to change it has been so painful that it makes me cry.
Follow your plan that makes you happy and brings you peace financially, vocationally! I’m a lawyer but don’t do traditional practice and it always throws people, too. They assume I work at fancy law firms and have filed litigation. I say HELLLL NO! I use my degree and experience to write and lobby for policies rather than litigate them. That’s what makes me happy! Stand firm with confidence in what you want and the rest will fall into place!
Good for you taking on this topic. It is a TOUGH ONE to cover for sure. I hit on this on a video early on in march and it is STILL a difficult topic with no answer that fits all. I am in the hospitality industry where the pandemic has wrecked us more than all other industries. Keep up the good work Andrew.
This is really helpful. Just as I was about to leave my crappy apartment I got an offer to move abroad for work, so I decided to stay. But a year has passed and the date gets pushed back further and further. And I'm now at the point where I'm considering leaving, but my manager is still promising we're almost there. I feel like I've been kept on a leash, but at the same time if I leave I feel like my employer might feel betrayed that I've been all in for the past year and suddenly when we're close I back out.
I joined my company recently. My boss quit and many others. There’s favoritism and my new boss isnt honest. He was promoted and has a big head because the ceo told him he has nothing to worry about so he brags about it. Keeps reminding me that i was hired under a different guy. HR sold me a lie telling me I will love it there. I later looked at glassdoor and they have horrible reviews. I made a huge mistake so here i am looking again
Sorry to hear. In your job search it's important you ask questions to ensure the company culture is a fit. On my RUclips channel, check out my videos: How to Notice Red Flags When You're Evaluating an Employer? and 8 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Accepting a New Job.
Underpaid for my skills. I can deal with that to a point. The problem comes when they keep adding more to my workload. They know I can do it because of my work ethic and skillset. They squeeze more and more out of me for the same pay. Told when I was hired they were hiring another electrician to help me. Been 2 years and it hasn't happened. Not gonna happen either. Everything I do saves them money so my bosses look like superstars to their bosses. Being taken advantage of.
Does it necessarily mean you have to go from job to job what about from job to a business. I love your video!! I have already started making career changes. This video has helped me to continue to move forward. Thank you kindly for your encouragement.
@@andylacivita Thank you as well :) Been watching for about three years now, I was very cautious in the early days but definitely appreciated having another completely separate perspective and especially when it is someone who has now gained my trust. Have a lovely day and I wish more people had the not so common sense that I see from you 👍
Hello Andrew, I just finished reading " out of reach, but in sight ". I received this book as a gift from a special friend. I want to thank you for writing this book and sharing your thoughts. Absolutely love it and all the things said in the book make sense. I am going to start practicing them and keep referring to them from time to time. Also subscribed to you!
how do you manage dealing with toxic bosses who think you should be able to mind read their instructions without them having to tell you. last boss was a case in point. i would bring my work in for review and he would cross off and add new stuff in everytime and act like im an just too slow. and then doesn't do anything to discuss this with me. instead he tells on last day to meet him 5min before go home time, its not working out, you are being let go. the minute i heard that i grabbed my paper work and head to my office to empty my stuff out and he starts his rant on how its unprofessional. so i tell him if had a problem you should have said so. luckily i got to leave a office in a pile of paper mess. and found a new job a month later. i personally find if you get laid off within the month or 2 of being hired, its lack of compatibility and not your fault unless you did something major bad.
Dude, my boss does the same thing but specifically any kind of writing. An editor micromanager. And I’m a good writer. It’s not grammatical, it’s language choice, which is sometimes substantive but usually it’s personal which takes away my voice when writing and replaces with hers or very generic language. I’ve been there 2 and a half years and she also doesn’t give good directions on projects and still doesn’t trust my writing. It’s stifling. And if it’s that bad why not send me to some writing boot camp? But she’s not the only director who does this. My coworker on the development team has his writing skewered too and I’ve read it and it wasn’t bad either. When management can’t delegate, it wastes everyone’s time. Why bother writing something if half of it is getting thrown out?
Great video and Advice as always Andrew! Just ordered the book too! Question/Video Topic Idea: If I moved from a leadership position at one company (Frontline Supervisor) to an individual contributor employee role at a new current company (Thanks to Covid Layoffs), How would you recommend getting back into leadership/leadership support at a new role going forward?
I find it odd to ask someone else how 'do I know that it is time to leave or if a job is right for me?' If this an indication of a lack of self-awareness? Odd...
I think it’s about how to evaluate. Many people leave then shouldn’t. Many stay when they should leave. I’ve seen this my entire life, so it would stand to reason this IS a good question to ask me!
I work an easy job 10-4 60k a year in UK. (very high for city) But it's boring n I don't do much. Company might be falling apart as 60% of workforce quit. What to do? I'm losing skills working here but it's easy af
Andy, you're the Guru. I have a buddy who just doesn't get it that you can't joke around at the workplace though. Sometimes he gets away with a joke and people laugh. Well usually he does, but 30% of the time he's called into a supervisor's office and talked to because someone was offended. I maintain that the workplace is not a place to joke around period but he won't accept it. Would you address humor at the workplace for a second in a future video so I can send it to this guy? Thanks in advance. You rock, Andy.
If the feds are investigating your company and management is being led from the office in handcuffs, it might be an indication to dust off those resumes. 🤔
I’ve been at the same job for 8 years since they started and helped them grow exponentially. However I don’t like my position and keep getting promises that I’ll be promoted to a less physically demanding position….but my boss just hired an outside guy. He literally laughed at the idea of hiring outside and went on about he’s loyal blah blah blah. I want to leave so bad but I’m so tied in with them. There’s so many tools I need to buy, get a new phone and number etc. I’m working on getting everything together but it’s been tough and in the hvac world I need to move quick because spring is when you can get the best salaries and everyone’s hiring.
The idea of changing jobs/careers just because you figured out what you actually wanted isn’t acceptable here in Japan unless you work for the same company for three years. Silly

That hit hard I'm literally on the fence right now about changing jobs. Comfort is a killer right now
You got this Serenade!!
I say do it
Did you do it? 🤔
What you said right here is what I am going through right now. I'm so comfortable at my job but I'm not happy with my pay.
I am on the fence too...I like my job and the customers are great but my boss and his constant micro management...I need to leave

Hang in there Ben. You deserve better!
You change jobs when you feel you really don't like it & that it's wasting your time.
My problem is that everything is a tradeoff. A different job would have some things I like, but I would have to give up other things.
Life is a tradeoff!!
