'When is it time to move on?'

If your daily tasks only make you tired without making you better, you are risking your appetite for professional excellence. In the long run, your career trajectory is more important than where you sit today. You need a learning company.

A learning company will:

• Delegate aggressively. They trust you with risk and responsibility because they know that’s the only way you build the expertise required for seniority

• Offer more than a dollar. Every job is a value trade. If you aren't getting exposure to new ideas, frameworks, and mentors alongside your salary, it's an unhealthy balance

• They focus on professional excellence, rather than just asking you to move more units than last week

If you are being well-paid to atrophy, you will pay for it later. Money follows expertise, but only if you put education first.

Look back at your last five days. Did you learn something that sharpened your decision-making, or did you just push buttons?
