10 Signs It Is Time For A Career Conversion
If you are slowly turning on auto-pilot mode, it is time for a drastic change
Day 3 of my notice period and my happiness level is probably at Dalai Lama Level. I believe my colleague used the word ‘glow’. Seriously, I am not exactly sure what is happening to me. Am I in denial? Maybe not.
Before I officially resigned, I had a plan to move to a similar job with better work-life balance. I was going to be part of the great resignation. For once, I was going to fit in and follow the crowd.

The hour where I was frozen on my chair and that pushed me to give my notice said it all. Headaches or muscle tensions also signal that you are mentally tired and on the way to a burn-out.
Sometimes that requires just a short time away for resting but physical pain could be a sign for a career transition too. If you feel dread on Sunday afternoon and basically spend a blurry Sunday night, you know you at least have to consider the choice of career.
