Career Question: Is the role + organisation serving you for now? #careergrowth #careerguidance

The thing that changed the game for me as a job seeker is when I started putting myself first. When I was in my early 20s, I was all about company loyalty. I would stay at an organization much longer than I needed to because I thought it was the right thing. When I realized that I was my most important person and it's my career, not theirs, so many more opportunities opened themselves up for me because I put myself out there so much more. Once you start putting yourself first, you're obviously going to be looking at, is this role serving me? Is this organization giving me what I need? If it is, great, stay. If it isn't, you're going to be looking at what else is out there for you. The best way to understand whether you're putting yourself first right now is to look at whether the role in the organization is serving you and your career for where you're at right now. It doesn't need to be your end career or the career that you're going to be in for the rest of your life. It just needs to be serving a purpose for what you want right now, and you need to be putting yourself first.
