Leaving a job is such a massive change in your life, so how do you know when it’s time to finally make that move?
Knowing when to change jobs is an incredibly difficult decision. Despite the average tenure in software engineering being only a handful of years, it can be a struggle to know when it’s the right time to leave a role.

While this may seem like a privileged decision to make right now as the industry is rocked by waves of layoffs, the process of figuring out what your next move is should still be the same.
