You might feel that the time and effort you&#8217;ve put into building up your career, means that you&#8217;d be crazy to throw it all away, but ask yourself a few questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have you been promoted in the last few years?<\/li>\n<li>Does your salary let you do all the things you want to do in life?<\/li>\n<li>Do you feel like you&#8217;re still learning new skills&nbsp;in your job?<\/li>\n<li>Is this&nbsp;the career you wanted, or something you just ended up doing?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What can you do next?<\/h2>\n<p>Making a major change to your life can seem daunting, but planning a new career doesn&#8217;t have to be difficult. Think about what you enjoy.

Think about where you&#8217;d like to work too. If the corporate world doesn&#8217;t suit you, start working in the creative industry, with smaller teams, or opportunities to travel.<\/p>\n<h2>When should you quit your job?<\/h2>\n<p>It can seem tempting to hand in your notice after a bad day, but quitting your job should be something you plan and prepare for.
