Reaching your career plateau can bring a thoughtful provocation in you. One moment you feel so motivated to deliver your tasks & the other moment you feel bored to even take up any task. It is essential to recognize that your job has reached dead end & its time to change your path to get back to brighter days. Here are some signs that indicate that your career growth path needs to be revisited:
You simply hate Mondays
So if you become anxious when the weekend is over, it is the first sign. You think “ oh gosh, again I have to attend that long & boring Monday meeting”. When you love your job, you are super excited to start a new workweek. Discover your passion & make it as a part of your career. If you are not the one who is eager to be an entrepreneur, find a job you are capable of taking up & get paid well for your services. Otherwise you will find stress cropping in. If you are having such feeling every Monday, it is time to make a shift.
Your learning curve is stagnant
If you are not augmenting your learning curve & not getting that kick in your job, it is a perfect sign that you need to look out for a better opportunity. Learning new things gives you self confidence & sense of accomplishment. If you do not see gaining anything from your current role, you may have a feeling of defeat & face lack of morale. Some of corporate folks are fine to do the same job over & over again & are happy till the time they are getting the compensation that can help them make their ends meet. However, some of them are looking for a vertical growth in their career & broaden their knowledge base. You may no longer fit within the organisation culture if you are on the one who crave for innovation & your organisation follows a culture of If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. If you are facing such a situation in your current role, it is time to switch.
No Scope of advancement
Some organisations offers little or no advancement. In such scenarios only way to get promoted is either your manager leaves or resigns. If such is the case, consider taking up projects that gives you added responsibility & sense of enlightenment. You do not always need a supervisor role to prove your mettle. You can find ways to contribute to your organisation’s top/bottom line. Discover ways to showcase your expertise so that organisation can benefit from your skills. Leave no stone unturned to take chances to enhance your career you always desired of. If you are spending more time at your workplace rather than with your loved ones, you should enjoy your work.
