“Many career experts agree that the best time to look for a new job is while you are still comfortable in your old one. If you are starting to feel unchallenged in your present position, you may be ready for a promotion to the next level. If there aren’t many career advancement opportunities where you work, the best next job may be waiting for you elsewhere. Nowadays, it’s up to you to take control of your professional future and make sure that you are progressing wisely down the right career path.”
