After you join any Job, most of your active time goes for it. Either you are working or you are travelling to work or you are relaxing after the long day at work. In many cases you will be spending close to 12 to 14 hrs everyday doing your Job.
So it is very important that you like your job and you are learning and growing on your job. Otherwise it becomes a routine and you will become dispensable. You can be easily replaced by not so experienced person for half the salary or less.
Wherever you are doing a job, ask yourself these questions.
1. Is the current job challenging enough that it requires you to keep up to date with the latest technologies.
2. Even in the current technology does it give opportunities to learn new ways of doing things?
3. Are you in sync with the latest development methodologies?
4. Are you using the tools to make your efforts more fruitful?
5. Is your job repetitive and does not require you to think?
If the answers are not encouraging then it is time to change. It is always better to work in an environment where you are learning and progressing every day than work at an organisation where there is no learning or improvement of your skills.
Review your skills every 2 months, if you have not improved or become better from the last review then it is time to move to new role in your current project or new project in your current Organization or new project in a different organisation. But ensure that you are learning where ever you are.
