The Hidden Signals Telling You It’s Time to Walk Away—Before It’s Too Late
Recently I was talking with a few friends at Microsoft.
They had all done something that might seem a little crazy.
They resigned from their current positions.
They moved on!
Prompting me to wonder…
When is the right time to move on?
Asking this question is important. It’s important to think about moving on. It’s important to know three things:
- Where you are today
- Where you want to be
- What you’re willing to do to get there
These sound pretty obvious. And, they are. You need to have a good feel for where you are. That shows situational awareness. You should have an idea of where you want to be. This can be 100% from your own mind, but it’s better if you can have some guidance from a few trusted advisors. And, finally, you should have a solid understanding of what you are willing to do in order to make your next transition.
