Switch or stay?

In short: It might be time to switch when you've stopped learning, see no next step, are paid noticeably below market, or don't feel valued — while staying makes sense when you're growing strongly, an open conversation is still pending, or the frustration comes down to one solvable issue. You don't have to quit to look around: stay passively informed and decide at your own pace when something genuinely better comes along.

Signs it might be time

1. You haven't learned anything new in months.
2. There's no recognizable next step for you.
3. Your salary is noticeably below market — despite conversations.
4. You don't feel seen or valued.
5. Sunday evenings regularly weigh on you.

Signs that staying is (still) right

6. You're growing strongly right now — the phase is just demanding.
7. An open conversation about role/salary is still pending.
8. The frustration comes down to one thing that can be resolved.

The next step without risk

You don't have to quit to look around. Stay passively informed — when something genuinely better comes along, you decide at your own pace.
