I have come across more people in my career unhappy in their jobs and are looking out for something that they are yet to figure... "change in environment"
The larger questions is: How can you measure your job satisfaction objectively?
The below approach will be able to give an idea and help is qualifying you feeling/perception towards your current job and make a sound-er decision :D
End of work everyday for 3 weeks, ask your self the following 3 question and insert your answer in the table below (1-10)
1: Low --- 10: High
- Have to: From a scale of 1 to 10, to what extend are my current tasks being imposed on me or required of me?
- Able to: From a scale of 1 to 10, how much of the tasks match my capability
- Want to: From a scale of 1 to 10, how much of my task is something i am motivated to execute/perform.
Example below
After which you can take the weekly average number and plot a radar chart, like below:
If the triangle / sail are moving from week to week, which means the job offers variety. A good thing!
If the triangle /sail is consistent across the week, same across the week then you ask your self the following questions:
- What do you want to do?
- Are you able to do what you want to?
- What are you able to do?
- Do you want what you are able to do?
You will have a clearer picture on what you want, this will prepare you better for the current or the next job you are seeking :)
Hope this helps, All the best.
