How do I know when it's time to quit and go somewhere else? So knowing when it's time to quit and exit is probably one of the hardest decisions to make, because guess what?

So one of the things that you need to come to terms with, number one, is it is okay to quit, right? The thing is, in terms of making your decision, is figuring out your why. Are you making meaning as to why you would be leaving this current job? And is it important enough to you? As well as what might be holding you back. If what's holding you back is fear, you have to understand where that fear is rooted in and come up with what are things that you can do to mitigate that fear. Let me give you some concrete examples.
