How to Know When It’s Time to Quit Your Job |
The dilemma: “I’ve been feeling checked out and unmotivated at work for a while, but I can’t tell if I’m just burned out or if it’s actually time to leave. How do you know when a job has run its course?” |
The answer: Catherine Fisher, LinkedIn’s vice president of communications and career expert. |
Most people expect a dramatic “breakup moment” with their job, but it’s usually much quieter than that. The most telling sign is when the majority of your job zaps your energy. The truth is, there will always be parts of your job that you don’t enjoy (sorry to break it to you), but the majority of your job should give you energy and not deplete it. 🥀 |
Before deciding to leave, it’s worth pausing and asking yourself a few questions about your current role: |
Could my role evolve from what it is today? Can I make an internal pivot or raise my hand for a project with another team? Is there a stretch assignment I can take on, or a new skill I could build that would challenge or excite me again? |
At the same time, it’s important to be honest with yourself about what those answers are telling you. You can try and grow where you are, but if you still feel a pull toward something different, whether that’s a new challenge, a different team, or a new company culture, it’s worth paying attention to. More often than not, that’s a sign you’re ready for what’s next. 🛣️ |
If that’s the case, my advice is to stay curious and think about the skills you want to build and what matters most to you in your next role. Careers aren’t meant to stay the same, and when the signs are clear, moving on is really about moving toward something that fits who you’re becoming. |
If you’re stuck between “I can’t do this anymore” and “Ugh, I should probably stay,” use our handy Should I Quit? Decision Chart to help you decide. 📦✌️ |

What Team Girlboss has been loving lately. |
|
☀️ Contributing Writer Lara is convinced she’s found the perfect summer linen pants: these Banana Republic Wide-Leg Linen Pants are perfectly high-waisted, breezy, and come in a gorgeous chocolate brown. Bonus: the “ankle” length is ideal for short gals! |
✨Imagine a summer without stressing about shaving or waxing? Well, LaserAway just dropped 75% OFF laser hair removal packages at 200+ locations nationwide, and honestly, it might be the best investment of the season.* |
👙 Tankinis are so back (thank god), and we’re eyeing Strawberry Western’s adorable swimwear drop. The gingham and floral prints are too cute. And those micro-skirt bikini bottoms? Need immediately! |
🍵 Stop what you’re doing and order a pint (or seven) of Jeni’s Ice Creams’ new flavor, Matchapolitan. It’s made with Japanese matcha, Madagascar vanilla cream, and swirls of sweet-tart strawberry jam. Drool! |
💄 Chappell Roan’s first M.A.C. Viva Glam collection is here! The limited-edition lip trio includes a cherry-red matte lipstick, a plum lipstick-balm hybrid, and a sheer red-plum gloss with gold shimmer—plus, 100% of the selling price supports organizations advancing equality. |
