from When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing by Daniel H. Pink
How to Apply This
-
Do you want to be in this job on your next work anniversary?
Imagine yourself one year from now - do you see yourself working at the same organization? -
Does your job challenge you without overwhelming you?
Do you have some autonomy over your work? Do you feel energized and excited at work, or are you bored and unfulfilled? -
Are you able to perform your best?
Think about whether there is anything holding you back from doing your best. -
What would your salary bump be if you were to switch jobs?
Generally, the best time to switch jobs is between 3-5 years if you’re looking to get a big salary bump. After that, you’ll likely be more tied down to your company and may find it difficult to start somewhere else. -
Does your work align with your long-term goals?
Write down your top 2-3 goals for the next five years and ten years. Will the work you do now help you achieve them?
