Karen Moore is a compliance officer who has worked both in Europe and in the US.  Like most people, in the course of her career she had chosen to leave one job for another.

The easy changes are the ones where a great new opportunity comes out of nowhere, and you just can’t say no.  Sometimes, though, there is the opposite situation:  the job grows to be intolerable.  You dread coming in and every minute of the day.

In her conversation with us, Karen talks about how to know when it’s time to leave.  She addresses the signs to watch out for, such as a lack of commitment by management.  She also discusses what to do to try and make things better, allies you can turn to, and how to know that there isn’t any hope.

Finally, the conversation turns to both preserving your professional reputation and meeting professional obligations.  To learn more about the latter, be sure to check out the Code of Professional Ethics for Compliance and Ethics Professionals.
