How do you know when it’s the right time to stay, get promoted, or leave an organization? Do you move up or move out?

When I reach this point in any job I ask myself a few questions:
- When was the last time I felt excited or energized to go to work/execute a project/visit a donor/etc?
- Am I getting the personal development support I need from my leadership?
- If so, how do I ask their thoughts on my next move?
- If not, is that something I can improve?
- Do I still feel like I’m making a difference in what I’m doing day-to-day?
- What, exactly, would it cost me to move somewhere else?
- Think in terms of relationships, opportunities, moving expenses, etc.
- What advice do the people I trust most in my life have for me?
Once I’ve taken a good amount of time to honestly answer all of these questions to myself, I’m always clear on what my next step should be.
