The 10-second test to know if it's time to change jobs
I invented it seven years ago, sitting in yet another meeting thinking I cannot do this anymore.
It's not scientific, but it is honest.
Is this you?
Good at the job but dreading Monday.
Staying because leaving feels like wasting the years.
Can't tell if it's the job, the manager, or you.
What's inside?
The 10-second test itself.
How to read your gut reaction — relief, sinking, dread.
4 interpretation questions, including:
"Would I take this role today, knowing what I know now?"
What to do next, depending on whether it's the work, the people,
or the pace.
Your head can argue for staying for months.
Your body usually answers in about ten seconds.
