How to Know When It’s Time to Leave Your Social Impact Job

Whattup, job seekers! Since you’re here, we know you’re considering a job switch. But are you feeling conflicted about staying at your current gig or going somewhere new?
All jobs have pros and cons, and choosing to leave one isn’t always a black and white decision. It can get even more confusing when you work in social impact and love your org’s mission.
So should you stay or should you go? Let’s weigh it all out.

Here’s how you know it’s time to go:
You love the mission, but you hate your actual job. Look for signs of burnout, like feeling exhausted all the time and neglecting your health.
You’ve outgrown your current role, and there’s nowhere else to go. Without growth opportunities, you’ll feel stagnant at your current job.
You didn’t get the raise you deserve. If you need to make more money, another job will likely offer you a starting salary that’s higher than what you currently make.
You feel guilty for wanting to leave. A sure-fire way to crash out at work is when you’re only staying out of obligation.
Your needs have shifted. There may not be anything wrong with your current job, but it doesn’t fit who you are or what you need now.
Still conflicted? There’s nothing wrong with applying for new jobs and seeing what opportunities are out there. Think of yourself like an original cast member on Love Island who needs to test their connection by cozying up to someone new at Casa Amor.

You deserve a job that checks all your boxes. And the good news is that you can still work for an organization or company that’s doing good in the world and meets your needs.
If you’re ready to see what else is out there, scroll down to start applying for a new Impact Job.
