This is the first time I ever thought about resigning. I was offered by another company a position I can not seem to resist - more responsibilities. The pay is almost the same. The nature of the job is the same. However, I will have greater responsibilities in the new company. I will be the sole head and whatever happens to my team will be my sole responsibility. I have been focusing on developing myself for the last 6.5 years with my company. I am happy. I moved up from the frontline to a Senior Manager role. I am still happy. But, I want to test myself in a different environment - my effectiveness. This will be my first time. I dont know the feeling, I just know that it is tought. Have you left your previous job that you loved? How was it? Please share.

I resigned from my previous job because of a better offering. I didn't search for new job but suddenly I was offered for a better one, better position, better salary, etc. I didn't love my previous job actually, but however, leaving the previous office was not easy because I had been working there for 3 years. Moving meant I had to adapt with new situation, and new people. I grew in that office, and I got so many experiences from that office. But then I realize that I had to find new experience, new resposibility, I would learn more from the new place. So I did, I took the new job, and I never ever regretted I took this job.

What I did was resigning and looking for a better job on a much higher salary basis. My mnemonics is that to have that job better improve or have to apply what I have learned from previous job experiences and to have the challenge to prove I can. But as the time goes, what matters now is that how would it support my financial needs. I have not yet been offered by other company as I don't have to look for a job since I already had to go to school and finish off that degree I need for my profession.Not for worse but staying to my current job to finance my degree.

Hi there Manager! I think that's great that you didn't lose the passion for challenges. Nowadays, people look more for stability than the challenge that a job brings. I have a work before that I truly love mainly because of the good pay. That was when I work as an encoder/typist and we get paid everyday per page that we typed. I was earning higher than my aunt, who was an accounting department manager that time. Also, the bosses doesn't bug us much since our pay depends upon the number of pages that we will be able to type daily. Until they decided to lower the pay by 25%. I still stayed but they lowered it again so the pay is down to 50%. I left and heard later on that they even lowered the pay again.

For some us - the challenge keeps us from being bored and feel useless in any job. I'm fairly young with this whole "real world" thing - I graduated from college 3 years ago. But I did leave a job that I truly love - of course in good terms with my supervisor. My main reason for leaving was a great offer from a private company (education wise) and my supervisor was a micro-manager (NO ONE can work/function under such a supervisor,guaranteed!). Leaving was tough - really thought about it for a good month. Mainly because I truly enjoyed what I was doing. But my bf said that I could slowly start hating it with a micro-manager supervisor. Change is always hard but sometimes it can be good. Good luck!
