Summary

Most people have days when they want to quit their jobs. But when that feeling doesn’t go away — when you feel stuck, unhappy or unable to grow — it may be time to seriously consider leaving. Deciding to quit can be complicated. Before giving notice, there are questions to weigh about your finances, your family, the job market and whether changes at your current workplace could make staying worthwhile. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with her guests about how to recognize when it’s time to leave a job — and how to prepare for what comes next. Guests: Chris Farrell is the senior economics contributor for MPR News and Marketplace. LaRae Jome is a psychologist and career counselor with Work-Life Directions in the Twin Cities. She has more than 25 years of experience helping people navigate career decisions, job changes, workplaces challenges and burnout.
