Think before you start looking for a change

After completing a year at my first job, I got an interview call through a placement consultant. Since there was no harm in attending the interview and giving it a shot, I participated in the discussion and got selected for the position.

I approached my boss and informed him that I would resign and join a new company. In the evening I got a call from my super boss's office to meet him.

He asked me why I wanted to leave the job. I told him that the salary offered was higher than my current salary, which was why I wanted to go.

He said, ok, if you have decided already, but he gave me just one piece of advice and told me to take a day and think it over before submitting an official resignation.

• Do you respect your company?

• Do you respect your job?

• Do you respect your boss?

If the answer to these three questions is a yes, then never leave your place of work just for money.

These are the three things you should always check before making a move. And if you don't respect even any one of the three, then you should give it a thought.

If you don't respect your company, change it; If you don't respect your job, request a different role; If you don't respect your boss, try changing your team.
