The moment you tell others that you are considering leaving your job, their immediate reaction will be, “Don’t leave your job if you don’t have another to go to.”

Yes. The ideal situation is to leave a job when you have a perfect career opportunity. But life doesn’t always hand you a magic bullet. Sometimes you have to take a risk, and that’s when conventional wisdom must be put aside to improve the prospects for your career.

Your decision to leave should be based on the expectation that better opportunities await you. You may be ready to move on when:

• You have outgrown your position, and the only way you will get promoted is if someone leaves.

      Recently, a woman called to ask about replacing a magnetic sign she had purchased from another company. Her original sign had actually blown off the side of her car.

      • You have outgrown your position, and the only way you will get promoted is if someone leaves.

      • The price of staying (e.g., increased anxiety and loss of self-esteem) is greater than the price of leaving.

      • You no longer care about the company, and it is reflected in the way you perform your job.

      • Your career goals have evolved, and you are ready to pursue new opportunities.

      Once you have made the decision to resign, plan for the following:

      • Write a letter of resignation. Keep the letter short and to the point. The letter should mention two key points (1) the date of your last day of work and (2) a thank you to your immediate superior for having provided you with the opportunity to work for the organization.
