Here's How Long You Should Stay at Your Job Before Quitting + Reasons to Quit if You're Unhappy

- “I’ve only been here a short while, but I’m ready to leave…but I don’t want to give the wrong impression.” - “This job isn’t what I thought it would be, but I’m going to stick it out for a year anyway.” - “I’ve been at this company for 7 years and my pay is still the same. I want something better, but I don’t want them to think I’m disloyal.” These are a few excuses I’ve heard unhappy people make to convince themselves to stay at their current job. It’s a common myth that short-term jobs and job hopping can make it tough to get a new job. Because of this misconception, people will willingly stay in jobs that make them unhappy, unfulfilled and stifle their growth. Newsflash – you can leave or quit a job whenever you want to – don’t worry about loyalty, don’t worry about the length of time you’ve been there, and don’t worry about being judged. Old-school career advice used to preach the necessity of staying in a job for a minimum of 3 years to demonstrate stability, trustworthiness, and professionalism, but these days that advice is no longer applicable. I’m big on treating my career as a business and making sure I’m taking or leaving a job for my best interest – and I want you to do the same. Watch to learn more!
