There's a Reason You Hate the Career You're Supposed to Be Grateful For
Whether you should stay or finally walk away comes down to which of 10 reasons is really behind it. Most people leave because of the wrong one and rebuild the same thing somewhere new. Here's how to tell them apart.
You know the drive. You pull in, cut the engine, and sit there a minute longer than you need to, because walking in takes something it didn't used to take. You can't say that to your partner, who worries. You can't say it to your friends, half of whom are job hunting. You can't even say it to yourself without the same answer rising up. You should be grateful.
Gratitude was never the question. The question is WHY you feel this way about work you're good at, and that question has 10 possible answers. 7 of them live in the job, and changing the job can fix them. 3 of them live in you, and they ride along into the next role, the next company, the next city. That's why some people hit reset twice and end up right back where they started.
That's the whole trap. Leave for the wrong reason and you rebuild the same ache somewhere new, a year poorer and twice as tired.
The guide hands you all 10, side by side. The 7 you can usually see and the 3 that travel, each with the misread that sends people out the wrong door. You'll notice which ones you feel in your body before your head explains them away, and that's where the real answer starts.
For 26 years I've found what's actually driving a person's unwanted results and changed it there, at the root. This guide holds the 10 causes I check first.
