The Time To Move On

How long you work in your office? 2 years? 10 years? Or more than 20 years? Have you ever think like this :

“ How long again I must survive in this place? “

“ Why I don't have spirit every time i do my work?”

Sometimes we should know when the time for us to move on and get another job to upgrade our skill or maybe our wealth. But sometime not just that, we must know about our condition and situation too. You don't want to be more suffer if you quit your job.

Much reason why people feel comfort and stay in their old company :

  1. They have good carrier

  2. They satisfied with their salary

  3. They job now is their dream job that they want it from a long time

  4. (Sometime) They stuck with debt so they rely on their salary

Much reason too why people want to “move on” from their old company :

  1. They usually bored with the job description in they old company

  2. They want to improve their skill in another company

  3. They want to raise their salary

  4. They want to open their own company

  5. (Sometime) they have conflict with their partner or their supervisor and cannot solve it

Before you decide to move on, you must considered some point :

  1. You must convince yourself this is the right step. If you can make sure yourself, how can you make sure your boss about this?

  2. You must have really good plan or have a backup plan. It mean you must know what are you to do next? If you have plan to work in another company, make sure the salary is better than your old company. Don't forget to make sure you already accept to work in your new company, if you still wait for another interview in your new company don't be rush out from your old company. If you plan to open your own company, (it's optional) make sure at least your company have already run minimal 3 month operational and have profit at least half of your salary in your old company. Why? Because if your company already run for at least for 3 month And your company's profit can get half of your salary in your old company , in average it can be say already stabilize for a new company. So think twice if you want to quit your job, but when you build your own company not stabilize yet.

  3. Make sure you have no problem or conflict with your old company. It'll make easy for you to find another job because you can ask your old company's recommendation. If you have a conflict with your partner, or your supervisor, or maybe with your company it self and it can't be solved, you can send an email to say you sorry about what happened and explain again the conflict with your version. It's important because even you won't meet them again, you must give appreciate to them when they were work with you

  4. Make sure you get higher salary if you move on with salary reason. You can check how much salary that you get when in interview. Beside the salary, you must calculate about allowance that you get, is it better than your old company or worse? It's an important point too, because sometime even you have a little salary but your allowance can covered anything you and your family need (especially for emergency need, like hospital cost), you can allocated your salary to your saving much more.

  5. And the most important thing : You must think twice before you walk out from your old company. Think about the advantages and the disadvantages, ask your family and friends opinion will be a helpful too. (Bmr)
