When GoBankingRates asked about the warning signs that it’s time for a job change, I weighed in, along with 9 other career experts. When you’re feeling stressed and unmotivated, and underappreciated, how do you it’s time to pull the trigger and look elsewhere? Here’s one blindingly obvious sign: You’re kicking butt in your role, but your manager keeps slamming down a lid on your attempts at career development.

If your manager is knowingly (or unknowingly) preventing you from advancing in your career, that could be a sign you should start looking for a new job where there’s room to grow, said Jo Miller, a women’s leadership coach and CEO of Be Leaderly.

If your boss or manager won’t let you take on new responsibilities or challenges, despite showing that you’re competently completing everything that’s been asked of you. Or, if your boss or manager won’t let you speak directly to your skip-level manager or to stakeholders or customers you need to work with to be effective in your role; or won’t sign off on a request for training or help you find another leader to be your mentor. It’s likely you’re being held back from advancing at your workplace. But before you jump ship, talk to your boss or manager about your desire to grow in your role.

“If your boss doesn’t seem invested in your development, it’s important to ask them for feedback,” said Miller. “If none is forthcoming, no matter how much you might enjoy your role or your company, it’s time to find a new boss — even if that means finding a new job. By leaving a bad boss for a true leader, you’ll ultimately find a much more fulfilling career.”
