1. It seems that a layoff or furlough is imminent.

COVID-19 has pushed the globe into a spiral, with disastrous consequences for the economy as a whole. If you work in a sector that is especially vulnerable to the pandemic's severe economic effects, it may be time to start searching for a new job that will weather the storm better.

But how can you determine whether a furlough or layoff is imminent? If your employees are being laid off or furloughed, or if your industry peers are adopting severe steps, it's a solid indicator that things are, at the very least, unstable. Other indicators that change is on the way include:

Your burden has greatly diminished.

The economy as a whole has slowed.

Key accounts are having difficulty making payments or are no longer customers.

If you see any (or all) of these at your workplace, particularly in today's employment market, consider getting a head start on your job hunt.

2. It Feels Like Sunday Night Every Night

Are you always looking for "greener pastures"? Feeling nervous or concerned about having to go to work the following day? You may have felt fear on Sunday night as a child, knowing that school will begin the following day. And now, as an adult, you have the same feelings about your job.

You may feel underappreciated as a result of a lack of good feedback, a poor work environment, or a lack of support from superiors or coworkers. But if every night seems like a Sunday night (and every day at work feels like a Monday morning), it's time to dust off your résumé.

3. Work Flexibility is Limited or Non-Existing

COVID-19 has converted the majority of firms into remote operations. While you may appreciate working from home today, your firm may have previously not provided much work flexibility and has signaled that staff will soon be returning to the office. Returning to your commute bores you, and the lack of flexibility makes managing children and life's uncertainties tough.

If you're concerned that your newfound freedom won't last and that negotiating permanent remote employment will fail, it may be time to look for a new job.

4. Your work performance is deteriorating

Do you find that your excitement for your work has waned and that your job performance might be considerably improved? If you feel like you're going through the motions at work every day, it's time to talk to your employer about it and see if you can work together to find a solution. Determine your next course of action based on how that goes. Give it a chance, but don't let it become worse. Set deadlines for yourself and respond appropriately depending on your success.

5. You've Learned Everything There Is To Know

It might be thrilling to start a new work and learn new regulations, processes, and protocols. However, after a while, you may feel as if you've outgrown your job, particularly if you're not learning anything new. You may have tried everything to prevent professional burnout, but nothing has worked.

Another indicator that it's time to consider moving on is a lack of opportunities for job progression or training to improve your professional abilities. When this occurs, talk to your supervisor about taking on more tasks or moving to a different role, especially if you still enjoy your job and the firm you work for. If a position move or new duties are not an option, you may wish to seek for a new employment that will enable you to develop and spread your wings.

6. The Pay Isn't Going to Improve

Perhaps you've asked for a raise a few times and been put off or outright informed that one isn't in the cards. If you've tried asking for a raise and struck a brick wall, it's a fairly obvious sign that it's time to look for a new job. However, given the present economic context, workers should be aware that many firms are likely grappling with pay raises.

The labor market has shifted significantly in recent months, and employers are no longer recruiting as quickly as they were. Furthermore, since the employment market is saturated with candidates in some industries, those who are hiring may not be willing to pay top money. Make sure your expectations are reasonable, and recognize that it may be wise to wait during sluggish economic periods to optimize your worth many months from now.

7. Your Workplace Is Contaminated

You may have a boss with whom you just do not agree at some time in your career. Let's face it, we don't always get along with everyone, but these hiccups are usually temporary or manageable.

The issue emerges when a momentary glitch becomes permanent. Examine the company's purpose and culture carefully. Uncertain direction and variable business goals are also strong reasons to look for a new career.

8. You've reached the "Quit or Else" point.

Avoid making impulsive decisions, such as resigning before you have a defined job search strategy in place. If you're at the point where you may be out the door any day, but aren't quite there yet, there's no better time than now to figure out what your life and work priorities are.

9. You Want to Change Careers

Maybe you've always wanted to be a web designer or volunteer at an animal rescue. Whatever it is, the prospect of a new profession is what motivates you to work these days. And if that's the case, it's definitely time to start planning your move to a new job.

10. You Are Excited About a New Job

There's something to be said about following your intuition. So, if the prospect of a new work causes your heart to beat a bit quicker, you should listen to your gut instincts and begin your job search.
