Quitting your job isn't that scary, and here's why we should do it to benefit both parties

To be honest, I'm not sure why I allow these types of things to appear in my "e-portfolio," but this message is to inspire the same minds out there to do what they believe is right…

Hi guys, it's been a long time since I last wrote something on my blog. Initially, creating this blog was a hasty and imitative decision, a sort of e-portfolio to enhance my CV, you know? However, now I want to continue writing on this blog as a way to refine my writing skills and the logical thinking that I put into practice through these paragraphs.

It's like a lot of things are happening in my life now that I want to share, so I guess this is going to be like a public diary, haha. Anyway, I will pick a story about why I quit my current job from a pool of topics like life in the UK, studying, dating, house moving, traveling... yeah, I know, it's a lot.

Working for learning while you are still young, not for the payment

When you're still young and secure a job, after some time, ask yourself: "What have you learned after 3 months in this job?" My answer to this question is nearly nothing; that's why I quit. Don't get me wrong—I did learn a lot in terms of working in a team, the office job environment, communication between teams, how a business operates, agency and client relationships, and work ethics. But as you can see, these are all soft skills, valuable but not enough to keep me going. After that, my boss offered me a full-time role, but I stuck with my plan.

Like my sister said, you don't have to hold on to any job just because you need money to survive. You can achieve that by doing many other jobs. What you should truly hold on to is something in that office that keeps you going to work every day, knowing that you are contributing to something.

Your contribution to the company is your achievement, and the company's growth is your growth.

I didn't create real value in the job. I went from feeling motivated every day, going to work with the belief that I could make a change to this team and could see a growth path for it in the future, to realizing that it wasn't going to work out, and all I was doing there was meaningless. So, while you go to work to contribute to something bigger than yourself, you need to be the missing puzzle piece they need. You're there to grow with them, and when my boss said this team was going to grow rapidly, he could see it, but I couldn't. That's how I knew this company was no longer the right fit for me.

Always place yourself in the bigger picture of the company.

Benefits for both parties

No company needs an employee who loses their motivation; it simply slows down their growth. When you quit, they can find a better fit for the position, and you leave this opportunity for someone who suits it better. Let the company find the puzzle piece they need. On your side, you gain free access to trying out things you've never tried before, like the same job title but in a different sector, transitioning from education to online shopping, etc. Less stress, doing what you enjoy, and not going to work out of obligation, and without the fear of entering the workplace not knowing what you're going to do that day.

Dealing with other people's opinions about why you quit

Don't let other people's advice drag you down from quitting your job and believing in what you've chosen. There are many reasons why you quit your job; it's better to list them out in your head. So, every time someone says something, you can pick something from your list in your head and say, "Yeah, it's not worth it to keep going."

Final thought: You are not alone, always seek out for help from your coworkers, your family and friends. Who know, maybe they know some places that fit you like a glove!
