Your reason for change
You should think very thoroughly though the reasons that you are changing your current job. Evaluating your decision is an excellent way to work out the underlying reasons behind this decision. Leaving your job on the grounds of not getting on with your colleagues or for the lack of job satisfaction are not the best reasons. If you feel that your issues can be resolved with some counselling, then you might be able to put your decision to quit on hold.
Pay versus experience
You should assess the value that will be added to your experience if you change jobs. Switching jobs simply because you want more money is not enough, if the learning opportunities are slim. Often employees switch jobs because they can get a higher salary. However, in the long run if the value of experience and knowledge gained diminishes, it could hamper your career progression.
Terms of employment
It’s a good idea to gauge the difference between your current salary package and the one you can get in the new company. Sometimes the figures of salary give a wrong impression and can lure an employee towards taking up a job that is worse in the long run. However, keep one detail in mind; even if the salary is more, you need to understand the expectations of the job.
Possibility for growth
You need to ensure that there will be plenty of space for your progress within the new company, otherwise any additional money may not be worth it in the long run.
