It is not an easy decision for one who enters the 40s or 50s. For those who have worked for decades in one place, changing jobs becomes more dilemmatic. Not only salary, work atmosphere, distance from home, acceptance of spouse/children, and so on must also be considered carefully.

Some reasons why someone finally considers changing jobs:

1. Lack of challenges that cause someone to feel bored and unmotivated.
2. Lack of opportunities for self-development.
3. Unsatisfactory salary
4. Uncomfortable work environment
5. Changes in life priorities.
6. Lack of balance between work and personal life

Salary is not the number one factor for those who have accumulated wealth from their previous jobs. They may switch careers to follow their passion or a more relaxed lifestyle. Many have left their jobs to pursue writing, start businesses, or become homemakers.

How do their spouses and children respond? Is it important to consider? Yes, I think. They are the first parties who will feel the impact of the decision. For example, if income decreases, the family must adapt, and you need to discuss the consequences with them.

If your spouse and children are fortunate to be financially independent, at least you tell them that the decision is a need for your soul so that they will support you and not ignore you if unpleasant things happen.

Before deciding to change jobs, someone should consider several things, such as:

• Are the reasons for changing jobs strong enough?
• Is there a clear career plan?
• Do you have enough skills and experience to get the desired job?

By considering these things, someone will be more confident in pursuing their new career.
