Career, Growth, Trust

Why do we switch careers?

  • Better Salary
  • Better Job profiles
  • Relocation
  • Brand

What drives you?

  • Unsure of growth in the current place
  • Not getting recognition

What is unsure of growth?

  • The trust deficit between you and your manager
  • I may not grow here or I don't sense my growth here

How you may grow?

  • When you get your right projects
  • When your work is appreciated
  • It has both internal and external factors
  • Your skills, projects, Contributions

Does it end with a Job Change?

  • New job, the new team may be the same story
  • Match of skills
  • Culture, Able to question and ask with clarity
  • Contribute, question, collaborate 

In long term, you are your own competition. Titles - Jobs - Salary is point in time but what you learn, build, make your own uniqueness, strength is the key.

Good read - link

  • Transparently sharing it without request
  • Make it clear that it's just opinions and not decisions

Keep Thinking!!!
