Is it time to quit your job?   When you are facing a leadership career dilemma: when should you stay versus when is it time to leave, remember to:

1. Develop a list of criteria that is meaningful for you and your career.

2. Identify the pros and the cons.

3. Consider designing a weighted system for analysis. Some of the criteria will be more important to you than others.

5. Design your go-forward strategy (regardless of whether you decide to stay or leave) and build in milestones and checkpoints to ensure you are on track.

6. Reassess your strategy and adjust as necessary.

7. If you decide to resign, do your homework. How to Resign Gracefully offers a number of great tips.
