Thinking about leaving your job and moving to a new employer?

STAY or GO?

 

Recruiter Christina Lord offers some questions to ask yourself about making the move:

- What dissatisfaction drove me to have an interview with another organization?

- Can I honestly accept an counteroffer from my current employer when it appears the only reason it’s being offered now is because I have decided to leave?

- If a counteroffer were offered, what would I need to remedy the issues I was facing?

- Have I done a “pros” and “cons” list for both organizations?

- Which company offers the most opportunity for me to build my career?

- Is it mostly about money, or are there other incentives or training that each employer could add to the deal?

- What potential is there for long-term career growth potential in each of the companies?

- Will my current employer hold it against me that I wanted to leave, and will that affect how they view my performance in the future?

- If I stay with my current employer, will it affect my morale and motivation?
