Reason 1 - Wrong career choice
- You did not take into account what you are good at and what you enjoydoing. Both aptitudes and interests should be considered.
- Insufficient information about your chosen field.
- Making choices based on family and peer pressure.
- Misplaced priorities such as looking only at the salary; going for a ‘prestigious’ job, etc.
Reason 2 - Evolving career interests
As you journey in life, you grow in knowledge and experience. You also acquire newer career interests. In such a situation, take a relook at your job profile and reflect deeply on whether you need to change tracks.
Other reasons can be a demotivating work environment, stagnation, unhappiness in personal life or poor health. If your job dissatisfaction is stemming from reasons 1 & 2, we recommend in-depth career counselling. If there are other reasons, mentoring can greatly improve your life situation.
There’s no point in continuing with a job that you hate. So, seek timely career/life advice.
